Foreign-Trade Zone Export Enhancement Act of 2025

HR 6792, the Foreign-Trade Zone Export Enhancement Act of 2025, modifies U.S. tariff rules to make it easier for businesses using foreign-trade zones (FTZs) to export goods to U.S. trade partners under the USMCA (or future agreements). It allows certain merchandise manufactured or altered within FTZs - specifically items classified under HTS 9801.00.95 - to enter the U.S. duty-free when exported directly to Canada or Mexico. This change aims to support U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and job retention by reducing costs for companies processing goods in FTZs for export to USMCA countries. The bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement these tariff changes within 90 days of enactment.
