FTZ Administrator Services for Zone OperatorsPTSI Managed Services offers Operator/Administrator services related to the day-to-day operations of a foreign-trade zone and can act as the FTZ Administrator for your zone project. Our innovative approach offers a unique opportunity to streamline inventory control operations and import processes for zone users and reduce paperwork for Customs & Border Protection. To facilitate an efficient e-centralized FTZ operation for the zone site and demonstrate reasonable care, we dedicate the personal experience of our team members to operate the zone. These professionals include individuals who are familiar with Customs & Border Protection rules and regulations and are trained and experienced in foreign-trade zone operations. Our team has over 60 years of experience operating manufacturing and distribution FTZ operations. We currently administer manufacturing and distribution zone projects in four states representing 19.6 million square feet and an estimated $15.6 billion in total FTZ transactions. Our FTZ administration process was developed as an advanced approach to a common concern for performing the daily functions required of a zone operator with multiple sites in compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Operating within a foreign-trade zone offers great opportunities to compete globally, maintain and increase a zone user’s domestic resources and volumes, and save money. Operating under foreign-trade zone procedures requires a strong level of compliance, accuracy in inventory control, and integrity in the audit trail through sound recordkeeping. Our solution reduces paperwork, duplication of efforts, and simplifies chain of command through a central management group. A higher level of compliance can be achieved through standardized processes - the same management group operates all the sites. The results include reduced operating expenses related to operation/administration of more than one FTZ site and a centrally located, specially trained team to operate the zone with consistency. A centralized operations center with standardized processes and consistent in-depth management is an attractive solution for multi-site zone operations.
