Canoo (NASDAQ:GOEV) has ignited a rally in its stock price today following the green light for its Oklahoma City facility to operate as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ).
The Department of Commerce’s nod to this initiative unlocks a treasure trove of advantages for Canoo. It grants the company the freedom to export its electric vehicles (EVs) abroad sans the burden of customs duties. Moreover, it empowers them to defer customs levies on imported EV components utilized in the domestic market.
Amidst the fervor, Canoo heralds this milestone as a catalyst propelling its American EV manufacturing expedition, fortified with a promise of enhanced profitability. Anticipations are high for a 5% dip in costs for overseas-sourced EV components.
Turning the spotlight to local sales, Canoo anticipates a surge in its working capital by millions, thanks to the FTZ badge. Furthermore, additional perks beckon in the form of reduced customs expenses, a refined supply chain, and an array of operational optimizations.
Tony Aquila, Canoo’s executive chairman, and CEO, lauds the FTZ certification, noting, “We are proud to announce that we have achieved another important building block in our strategy by creating one of the largest Foreign Trade Zones in the State of Oklahoma. This FTZ will generate economic growth, American jobs, and have a long-term permanent financial benefit to working capital and cost of materials.”
