Abuses and
Congress passed the Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) Act of 1934, it has been used as a tool for unfair competition against original issuer whose registered trademarked goods are illegally counterfeited, trafficked and smuggled through FTZ’s without enforcement or interference by law enforcement.
Trade Based Laundering
Criminals see FTZ’s as perfect places to repackage registered, trademarked goods and transport illicit goods, as controls and checks by United States
authorities are irregular or absent, allowing unlimited illegal transactions to be easily disguised as legal. Foreign unregistered agents, have identified the weak point to escape punishment in organized, illicit trade-based money laundering (TBML) schemes that are nearly never prosecuted or detected.
The FTZ has become the proven haven for illicit trade, human trafficking, smuggling controlled substance, tax evasion, illegal insider trading, embezzlement, and
interference in trade by intimidation, coercion, violence and fear creating an unchecked massive security, crime and tax criminal network that traffic goods and persons by FTZ abuses, leveraging financial access device fraud schemes.
