Foreign Trade Zone 147

FTZ 147 is administered by the Campbell Trade Group and Berks Economic Partnership.  The FTZ is considered outside the customs territory of the United States for the purposes of duty payment.  Under zone procedures, the usual formal customs entry procedure and payment of duties are not required on merchandise unless it enters customs territory for domestic consumption, in which case the importer has a choice of paying duties on the original foreign material or the finished product.

FTZ 147 encompasses three sites in the Greater Reading region.  The largest is located at the Reading Regional Airport and is comprised of 865 acres.
