Industrial and Foreign Trade Zones

Cape Coral’s industrial development opportunities feature two Industrial Parks that hold Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) status, a federal designation that offers key savings on international-trade-related activities. The city has additional development opportunities with industrial zoning in its Northeast sector, as well as extensive “light industrial” opportunities spanning its commercial zoning corridor along State Road 78-Pine Island Road.

More About FTZs
A Foreign Trade Zone, or free-trade zone, is a location on U.S. soil that, for customs purposes, is not recognized as being on U.S. soil, and goods in a zone are technically not yet in the U.S. Foreign and domestic merchandise may be moved into zones for storage, exhibition, assembly, manufacturing, and processing without payment of duties, quota, and other import restrictions until the decision is made to enter the goods into the U.S. market. Foreign Trade Zones contribute substantially to the U.S. economy and its employment.
