TUMI

Richard Lawrence - TumiOne of the reasons that we've maintained a presence here, even after we moved all of our manufacturing offshore, is proximity to the Port of Savannah.  As a foreign trade sub-zone, all of the products in Tumi's Vidalia warehouse are duty-deferred.  Anything that ships out of here internationally, we won't pay duty on, and we won't pay duty on anything in the warehouse (to ship nationally) until it leaves the warehouse and enters the commerce of the United States.  That's a big advantage for us."
