Foreign-Trade Zone Export Enhancement Act of 2025 clarifies tariff treatment for certain merchandise in U.S. foreign-trade zones.

The Foreign-Trade Zone Export Enhancement Act of 2025 aims to clarify the tariff treatment of merchandise in U.S. foreign-trade zones, particularly for goods subject to duty deferral restrictions under the United States Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The Act amends the Foreign Trade Zones Act to ensure that certain articles manufactured or changed in condition within these zones are treated as duty-free when exported directly to USMCA parties. This change is intended to support U.S. competitiveness in manufacturing and distribution, and to create and preserve jobs within the United States.
