Non-Privileged Foreign Status (NPF)

The default FTZ status for foreign goods that don't hold privileged foreign or zone-restricted status. Duty is assessed on the goods' condition and classification when they leave the zone and are entered for consumption, which can lower duties when a finished product is rated lower than its parts (19 CFR 146.42).
