Our core service offerings
Standard Warehouse
Upfront Duty Payments
Duties are paid as soon as goods arrive at the port, regardless of when or if they sell.
Capital Tied in Inventory
Cash is locked up for months in inventory costs, limiting flexibility and growth.
Time-Limited Storage
Standard warehouses operate on fixed timelines that pressure inventory movement.
FTZ at Trademark Global
Duty Paid Only When Sold
Customs duties are deferred until goods enter the U.S. market, not when they arrive.
Working Capital Preserved
Cash stays available for operations, expansion, and reinvestment.
Unlimited Storage Flexibility
Inventory can remain in the zone indefinitely, without triggering duties.
Financial Benefits
Pay duties only when inventory actually sells.
Delay duty payments based on how quickly your inventory turns—not when it arrives at the port. This improves cash flow and reduces financial pressure on slow-moving goods.
Reduce customs fees by consolidating weekly entries.
Consolidate multiple shipments into a single weekly customs entry, significantly reducing processing fees and administrative overhead.
Move inventory between FTZs without triggering duties.
Move inventory between FTZs nationwide without triggering customs duties, enabling smarter distribution and regional fulfillment strategies.
Who Benefits Most

Industrial Spare Parts
