SOLO World Partners’ Riverview, MI Facility Achieves Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) Designation


Riverview, MI – 29-JAN-2013– SOLO World Partners is proud to announce that its Riverview, Michigan facility has been officially approved as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). This designation marks a significant milestone in SOLO’s mission to provide cost-effective, efficient, and streamlined global supply chain solutions to its valued customers.



The Foreign Trade Zone program, established by the U.S. government, allows businesses to defer, reduce, or eliminate certain customs duties and taxes on imported goods while they are stored, processed, or distributed within the FTZ. This status provides a strategic advantage for companies looking to optimize their supply chain operations, reduce costs, and enhance global trade competitiveness.


With the newly designated FTZ facility in Riverview, SOLO World Partners’ customers will benefit from:


  1. Duty Deferral & Elimination – Businesses can delay paying import duties until products leave the FTZ for domestic use or eliminate them entirely if goods are re-exported.

  2. Improved Cash Flow – The ability to defer duties means companies can allocate capital more effectively, reducing financial strain.

  3. Reduced Merchandise Processing Fees (MPF) – Consolidated customs entries can significantly lower transaction costs.

  4. Supply Chain Efficiency – Expedited customs clearance and streamlined logistics enhance operational efficiency and reduce bottlenecks.

  5. Security & Compliance – FTZ facilities operate under U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) supervision, ensuring heightened security and compliance with trade regulations.
