As the operator of the Charlotte Foreign Trade Zone #57, Distribution Technology can provide duty-free and quota free entry of foreign goods into a designated area for an unlimited time. We are fully bonded and can provide storage as well as cost-effective break-bulk of container load and less-than-container load shipments imported into the U.S. Although this area is supervised by U.S. Customs, the zone is officially considered to be outside of U.S. territory offering many advantages to the international user.
