Published Date: 1/17/2025
Notice
Summary
The Port of Port Angeles in Washington just got the green light to create a special Foreign-Trade Zone in Clallam County to boost trade and business near the customs port. This new zone lets companies save money on taxes and customs fees, making it easier and cheaper to import and export goods. They have up to five years to activate one of the key sites, or it could lose its special status.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Foreign-Trade Zone No. 303 Established
The Foreign-Trade Zones Board approved Foreign-Trade Zone No. 303 for the Port of Port Angeles on January 10, 2025. The zone's service area is Clallam County and it is located adjacent to the Port Angeles Customs and Border Protection port of entry; the Port of Port Angeles is the grantee.
Magnet Site Sunset for Site 2
Site 2 of the new Foreign-Trade Zone No. 303 is designated a magnet site and is subject to an ASF sunset provision. If Site 2 is not activated within five years from the month of approval (the Board granted the zone on January 10, 2025), authority for Site 2 will terminate.
2,000-Acre Activation Limit Applies
The Board applied its standard 2,000-acre activation limit to Foreign-Trade Zone No. 303. That acreage cap is the limit for activated acreage under the Board's standard rules for this zone.
