Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

In a free trade zone (FTZ), payment of customs duties is triggered when products are distributed. Goods can be imported into an FTZ without paying duties immediately. Duties are deferred until the goods leave the FTZ and enter the domestic market for distribution. This allows companies to store, assemble, and even manufacture products within the FTZ without incurring immediate duty costs, thus optimizing cash flow and reducing costs.

Returned products might not necessarily trigger duty payment if they do not enter the domestic market.

Assembled products within the FTZ do not trigger duty payment until they are distributed.

Stored goods in the FTZ do not require duty payment until they are removed for domestic distribution.
