Customs Port of Entry
Salt Lake City is a full-service customs port city. Goods that enter under bond may be stored in customs-bonded facilities for up to five years without payment of customs duty. If goods are exported during this period, no duty is paid. Otherwise, duties are payable at the end of the term or upon entry into U.S. markets for consumption. In addition to salt Lake City headquarters, Utah has ports of entry in Daniels, Echo, Kanab, Loma, Monticello, Peerless, Perry, St. George and Wendover.
