The World Jewelry Center (WJC) in Las Vegas has been designated by the United States Department of Commerce's Foreign Trade Zones Board as a permanent Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). The WJC has been designated as Site 7 and will be operated by the Nevada International Trade Corporation (NITCO) on behalf of the WJC. Such a designation, says NITCO President and Chief Executive Officer JoAnne Tornberg, includes general purpose zone warehousing and exhibition services. She further listed the basic functions of the FTZ, which will take place in the U.S. Customs-approved facilities: "Merchandise entering a Foreign Trade Zone may be assembled, cleaned, destroyed, displayed, mixed, manipulated, manufactured (with permit), processed, relabeled, repackaged, repaired, salvaged, sampled, stored, tested, re-exported, or distributed (domestic, international, zone-to-zone)."
