Foreign Trade Zone

Located within FTZ #181, ASW's Akron (Mogadore) facility is strategically located to quickly access over 57% of the U.S. population and more than 50% of Canada's. An alliance with ASW offers foreign and U.S companies alike a unique opportunity to defer, reduce or eliminate duty, taxes and tariffs on goods.

Companies already operating within an FTZ along the East or West Coast can transfer their goods already in an FTZ to ASW's facility duty free. This allows companies to reduce high coastal storage costs and move closer to their customers. Benefits of ASW's FTZ include:

Assess, Solve, Execute – Mini Case Study

Assess: ASW Global was approached by a Canadian company that was searching for a Foreign Trade Zone designated warehouse in the United States that would allow them to delay duties on their products received from overseas suppliers.

Solve: ASW was able to provide a comprehensive solution that allowed the client to take advantage of our Foreign Trade Zone #181 designation.

Execute: ASW was able to store and then distribute the client's products on an as needed basis that saved them $60,000 in duties.
