Why Original Equipment Manufacturers Choose the Port of Hueneme
The Port of Hueneme is the geographic epicenter for the consumer auto markets of Central and Southern California, and the growing Southern Nevada region. Optimally positioned to serve emerging short sea shipping opportunities, the Port offers a dedicated ro-ro terminal, six deepwater berths and 8,000 parking bays — adjacent to three auto processors who have handled as many as 360,000 autos, with capacity to meet increasing demand.
The Port is the grantee of the Foreign Trade Zone #205, which defers Customs duty until they are ready for U.S. consumption, shipped on to another FTZ or shipped to another country, with the duty deferment still in effect or paying no duty at all.
