A Date object always stores the date in UTC. When you then display that date (such as with toString) then the date/time will be displayed in the systems default timezone. If you wish to display it in a different timezone, or import a string as a date as if it were from a different timezone, then see the API docs for SimpleDateFormat, its parse and format methods, and its setTimezone method. Remember, however, that the Date object itself is always in UTC and only when you produce a String representation of that Date, does the timezone "influence" take place, and then only in that String representation.
