Foreign Trade Zones
A Foreign Trade Zone is a port designated by the government for duty-free entry of any non-prohibited good. Goods can be imported without having to go through formal customs entry procedures or pay imported duties. Duties are imposed only when goods pass from the Foreign Trade Zone into the country.
Hinds County has access to Foreign Trade Zones through the Jackson-Evers International Airport.
