Unlock Global Trade Advantages with Lean Supply Solutions: Your FTZ-Enabled 3PL Partner in Southern California
In today’s fast-paced global economy, businesses need more than just a warehouse—they need a strategic logistics partner that helps maximize profitability, streamline customs operations, and optimize inventory flow. Lean Supply Solutions offers just that from our state-of-the-art facilities in the Inland Empire, Southern California’s premier logistics hub with efficient drayage access to the Port of Los Angeles.
One of the most powerful tools we provide is Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) warehousing, which delivers critical advantages for importers and exporters alike.
Key Benefits of Using Lean Supply Solutions + FTZ:
1. Delay Customs Duties Until Inventory Leaves Our Warehouse
Unlike traditional warehousing, goods stored in our FTZ facilities are not considered “imported” until they exit the zone. This means duties and tariffs are deferred, allowing you to preserve working capital and reduce costs.
2. Boost Cash Flow
By delaying customs payments, you free up capital that can be reinvested into operations, product development, or customer acquisition. This is especially valuable for high-value goods or companies with longer inventory turnover cycles.
3. Duty Elimination on Exports
If products stored in our FTZ facility are re-exported outside of the U.S., you avoid paying U.S. import duties altogether, resulting in direct cost savings.
4. Streamlined Customs Processing
Our team handles all the FTZ compliance and documentation, simplifying your customs management and minimizing delays. It’s like having an in-house trade compliance expert—without the overhead.
5. Strategic Location for Fast Turnaround
With our proximity to the Port of LA and optimized drayage operations, your containers can be offloaded and moved into our warehouse quickly and efficiently, helping you avoid port congestion and demurrage fees.
6. Scalability and Flexibility
Whether you need short-term overflow storage or long-term inventory management, our FTZ-enabled facilities adapt to your business cycles and global supply chain strategies.
