The Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD<\/a>) has announced it has gained final approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce to designate Miami International Airport\u2019s entire 3,230-acre land parcel as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) magnet site.<\/p>\n The magnet site designation allows existing or prospective airport tenants to operate manufacturing, warehousing and\/or distribution centres on airport property, and have their federal tariffs deferred, reduced or eliminated \u2013 providing time and cost savings for approved importers and exporters.<\/p>\n The new magnet site \u2013 an expansion of Miami-Dade County\u2019s existing FTZ 281 \u2013 will allow companies to receive and process materials and merchandise with reduced or eliminated customs duties upon entry into the country at MIA.<\/p>\n Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez said: \u201cThe MIA FTZ creates and attractive\u00a0business opportunity for companies to begin or expand their operations directly on-site at the passenger and cargo gateway of the Americas.\u00a0Congratulations to the MIA team for achieving this significant milestone, which has strong potential for new business revenue and job creation in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n The county\u2019s Commissioner Rebeca Sosa, also Chairman of\u00a0the County Economic Development and Tourism Committee, added: \u201cI commend the Aviation Department and PortMiami, for bringing this important designation to MIA and to Miami-Dade County.\u00a0\u201cBecause of their efforts with our federal partners, MIA can be an even larger economic engine for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n Companies handling high-traffic commodities at MIA \u2013 pharmaceuticals<\/a>, electronics, textiles, footwear, auto parts, aircraft parts, avionics, machinery equipment, consumer goods and perishables \u2013 are expected to be FTZ applicants. To be an FTZ operator, companies must first complete an application with PortMiami \u2013 the grantee of FTZ 281 \u2013 and then receive approval from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The expedited application process takes approximately 30 days.<\/p>\n FTZ 281 encompasses land from S.W. 8th Street to the Broward County line, and from Miami Beach in the east to the Urban Development line in the west. Companies within an FTZ are able to defer paying duties only when product exits the site, reduce duties on combined finished products instead of on each individual product, and eliminate duties on products being imported to the site and then exported.<\/p>\n In 2016, MIA\u2019s air trade was valued at $57.3 billion \u2013 representing 92 percent of the value of Florida\u2019s total air trade and 40 percent of the state\u2019s total (air and sea) trade with the world.<\/p>\n PortMiami Director and CEO Juan M. Kuryla said: \u201cSix years after being approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce, FTZ 281 has more than 65 approved sites. Adding MIA as a magnet site is a huge accomplishment. It makes Miami a more competitive global gateway for growing international trade and commerce in Miami-Dade County. We welcome MIA to FTZ281.\u201d<\/p>\n The FTZ magnet site follows other business development initiatives launched recently by MDAD, including: MIA\u2019s first\u00a0e-commerce workshop<\/a>\u00a0with more than 30 local air cargo industry stakeholders in January, with the goal of establishing Miami-Dade County as one of the world\u2019s leading e-commerce hubs; Florida\u2019s first-ever\u00a0ocean-to-air perishables trans-shipment programme<\/a>\u00a0last February, which allows perishable freight from local seaports to be trucked to MIA and depart by air without Customs duties; and MIA\u2019s\u00a0pharma hub<\/a>\u00a0designation by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which certifies that pharma products are transported in accordance with global best practices. Four MIA pharma hub partners became IATA-certified in 2017, and MIA\u2019s pharma trade has grown in value from $1.8 billion 2010 to $4.4 billion in 2016. MIA was named\u00a0\u201cBest Freighter Hub\u201d<\/a>\u00a0in the world by Freighter World.<\/p>\n Leia mais<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 3 minutos<\/small> The Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has announced it has gained final approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce to designate Miami International Airport\u2019s entire 3,230-acre land parcel as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) magnet site.
