Foreign Trade Zone Basics

Join the U.S. Commercial Service, Connecticut District Export Council, FTZ 71 and MetroHartford Alliance to learn more about the benefits and resources available to Economic Development Organizations and Manufactures through the FTZ Program.

Connecticut has 4 FTZs that cover it's 3 major ports (Bridgeport, New Haven & New London) as well as Windsor Locks Zone #71 which covers 5 counties under a program known as the Alternative Site Framework. Though we have subzones at 2 of the 4 zones, the benefits and resources available to CT companies under the FTZ program are still largely unknown to many of our State's companies and transportation professionals.

FTZ #71 has been fortunate enough to secure Mr. Erik Autor, President of the National Association of Foreign Trade Zones, to provide an overview of the FTZ program and some of its unique benefits.

Speakers:

- Erik Autor, President, National Association of Foreign Trade Zones

- Dan Carstens, Zone Administrator, FTZ No. 71
