Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A foreign trade zone is a tax-free area in a particular country that is not considered part of the respective country in terms of import regulations and restrictions. Products can be shipped to a foreign trade zone, they can undergo additional manufacturing processes, and then shipped further to the target market. Such products are not assessed any duties, and cannot be subjected to tariffs or quotas unless they enter the territory of the host country of the foreign trade zone. A foreign trade zone is a site within a particular country that is considered to be an international area; merchandise in the FTZ, both foreign and domestic, is outside the jurisdiction of the host country customs services.
