Nevada has no tax on inventories held for sale within Nevada or for interstate transit. Businesses can take advantage of Nevada's liberal free port laws and Foreign Trade Zones to warehouse, fulfill and ship orders from within the state to save money and protect profits.
A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) is a site within the United States, in or near a U.S. Customs port of entry, where foreign and domestic merchandise is generally considered to be international commerce. The rapidly growing zone program is flexible and offers solutions to business issues not addressed by other custom procedures.
