What is a Foreign-Trade Zone?

什么是美国自贸区？

Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) are a federal economic incentive program to bring international trade within the capability of even the smallest of businesses. FTZs are designated sites within the U.S. where foreign and domestic merchandise is considered to be outside the U.S. Customs territory. The program is designed to lower the cost of doing business and stimulate economic growth and development in the U.S. by allowing companies to defer, reduce or eliminate U.S. Customs duties. Certain types of merchandise can be imported into a Zone without going through formal Customs entry procedures or paying import duties until the products are transferred from the FTZ for U.S. consumption.If merchandise never enters the U.S. commerce or is re-exported to other countries, then no duties are paid on those items. This program was developed to offer U.S.-based facilities with the ability to compete on a more level playing field with offshore locations.

自贸区（FTZ）是一项联邦经济激励计划，旨在将国际贸易纳入最小企业的能力范围内。 自贸区是在美国境内某指定地点，国外和国内商品被认为是在美国海关领土之外。 该计划旨在通过允许公司推迟，减少或减免美国关税来降低经营成本，刺激美国经济增长。在产品从FTZ转运给美国消费者之前， 某些类型的商品可在不经过正式海关入境程序或缴纳进口关税的情况下，进入自贸区。 如果商品从未进入美国消费市场或再出口至其他国家，那么这些商品就无需缴纳关税。 该项目旨在为美国企业提供更公平的竞争力。

The Port of Los Angeles, also known as America’s Port, Southern California’s gateway to international commerce, is located in San Pedro Bay, 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. The nation’s number one Port not only sustains its competitive edge with record-setting cargo operations, but also for its groundbreaking environmental initiatives, progressive security measures, and diverse recreational and educational facilities.

洛杉矶港位于洛杉矶市中心以南20英里的圣佩德罗湾(San Pedro Bay)，也被称为美国港，是南加州通往国际商业的门户。作为美国第一大港口，它不仅凭借创纪录的货运业务保持着竞争优势，还有着开创性的环保举措、先进的安全措施以及多样化的娱乐、教育设施。

The Port of Los Angeles is a department of the City of Los Angeles and is often referred to as the Los Angeles Harbor Department. The Port is operated and managed under a State Tidelands Trust that grants local municipalities jurisdiction over ports and stipulates that activities must be related to commerce, navigation and fisheries. A five-member Board of Harbor Commissioners is appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Los Angeles City Council to provide direction and create policy for the Port.

洛杉矶港是洛杉矶市的一个部门，通常被称为洛杉矶港务局。 该港口由州潮汐信托基金运营和管理，该信托基金授予当地市政当局对港口的管辖权，并规定活动必须与商业、航海或渔业有关。 由市长任命，并由洛杉矶市议会确认为港口委员会提供指导和制定政策的五人委员会。

As a proprietary and self-supporting department, the Port is not supported by city taxes. Instead, revenue is derived from fees for shipping services such as dockage, wharfage, pilotage, storage, property rentals, royalties, and other Port services. Considered a landlord port, the Port of Los Angeles leases its property to tenants who then, in turn, operate their own facilities.

作为一个自营部门，港口不受城市税收的支持。相反，其收入来自航运服务的费用，如码头、引航、仓储、租赁、特许权使用费和其他港口服务费。洛杉矶港被视为地主港，它将地方租给租户，租户以此经营自己的产业。

The Port encompasses 7,500 acres, 43 miles of waterfront and features 27 cargo terminals, including dry and liquid bulk, container, breakbulk, automobile, and warehouse facilities.

该港口占地7500英亩，拥有43英里的海滨区和27个货运码头站，包括干散货、液体散货、集装箱、杂货、汽车和仓储设施。
