No Tariffs for Clarksville Businesses

By Gary Pitts/Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle

Clarksville, TN – Federal officials have approved a trade zone expansion that will reduce or eliminate trade tariffs on some companies in Clarksville. The expansion brings Clarksville's Business Park into Nashville's foreign trade zone allowing companies within the park to operate globally without having to deal with tariffs. Many businesses currently operating in the city will benefit from the expansion, and city officials hope the move will attract more international corporations to the area.
