Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 277--Glendale, Arizona; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; Andersen Regional Manufacturing, Inc.
(Windows for Residential and Commercial Buildings); Goodyear, Arizona
Andersen Regional Manufacturing, Inc. (Andersen Regional) submitted
a
[[Page 9457]]
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its
facility in Goodyear, Arizona. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on January 23, 2020.
The Andersen Regional facility is located within FTZ 277. The
facility will be used for production of windows for residential and
commercial buildings. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would
be limited to the specific foreign-status materials/components and
finished product described in the submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Andersen Regional from
customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used
in export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status
materials/components noted below, Andersen Regional would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to
windows for residential and commercial buildings (duty rate 5.3%).
Andersen Regional would be able to avoid duty on foreign-status
components which become scrap/waste. Customs duties also could possibly
be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
The components and materials sourced from abroad include: Stainless
steel and carbon steel screws; die cast zinc and injection molded
polypropylene lock covers; aluminum extruded reinforcement bars; carbon
steel gusset plates; stainless steel jamb clips; injection molded PVC
and brass roller assemblies; injection molded glass reinforced nylon
sash cams; injection molded polypropylene shipping protection caps;
and, zinc plated steel washers (duty rate ranges from 3.5 to 6.2%). The
request indicates that certain materials/components are subject to
special duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section
301), depending on the country of origin. The applicable Section 301
decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to:
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is March 30, 2020.
A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
in the ``Reading Room'' section of the Board's website, which is
accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
For further information, contact Juanita Chen at
[email protected] or 202-482-1378.
Dated: February 12, 2020.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
