  • Since this is the political forum

    Let see if you can make sense of this. Government web site.





    Post up you thoughts and ideas.

    Hint. FTZ = Foregin Trade Zone. Zone may not be what you think.

    Edit. This will not be a quick trip to the site just to see what it is. It will take you some time to figure it out.
