What is the Freeport Tax Exemption? – The freeport tax exemption allows local authorities to
exempt taxes on goods that have been acquired in or imported into Texas to be forwarded out of
the State within 175 days. There is no restriction on the destination of such goods. The goods
must remain in the continuous ownership of the person who exports them from the time of their
acquisition until the time of their export.
