Brooks cites a five year timeline for a port of entry designation while Shugrue argues the wait will be worth it. If granted, sub zone status would let factories in the transpark receive zone benefits such as duty relief and storage for goods destined for U.S. commerce or export. Dennis Puccinelli notes sponsorship usually comes from the nearest zone, with local resolution common. The Morehead City and Wilmington ports already sponsor sub zones and RDU could sponsor nearby firms if changes are approved by the Foreign Trade Zone Board.
