FTZ Warehousing

Receive and hold eligible inventory in an FTZ facility near a major U.S. port, with release coordinated around your commercial plan.

Request warehouse space

Cargo vessels and containers at a U.S. port

Store eligible imported goods before they enter U.S. commerce

Tri-Link receives and stores imported inventory in Foreign Trade Zone facilities positioned near major ports and markets. While eligible goods remain under FTZ procedures, duty payment is generally deferred until the inventory is formally entered into U.S. commerce.

The warehouse service is the product: secure space, disciplined receiving, inventory handling, and an agreed release plan. FTZ knowledge supports those operations, but Tri-Link is not selling a separate consulting engagement.

Warehouse operations built around the inventory

Qualify before routing

Start with the goods, route, and required work

Product characteristics, origin, quantity, arrival timing, storage duration, destination, and handling requirements determine the right facility and operating plan.

Share your inventory requirements

From inbound arrival to approved release

1. Qualify and receive

Confirm the product, origin, volume, timing, documentation, and preferred region before the shipment arrives.

2. Store and manage

Place accepted goods into the agreed facility and maintain inventory records against the operating plan.

3. Handle when required

Complete approved relabeling, repackaging, inspection, or other agreed work while inventory remains in storage.

4. Release deliberately

Prepare goods for formal entry, fulfillment, distribution, export, or another permitted movement.

Common questions before inventory arrives

Qualify the operation

Useful answers start with specific goods

Product, origin, quantity, timing, destination, and required handling determine the right facility and operating plan. Use these answers to prepare the details Tri-Link needs to evaluate warehouse fit.
