DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B-45-2021]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 281--Miami-Dade County, Florida;
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Intel Corporation
(Kitting, Assembly and Packaging of Computer Electronics), Miami,
Florida
ModusLink Corporation, a proposed operator within FTZ 281, in
Miami,
[[Page 31696]]
Florida, submitted a notification of proposed production activity to
the FTZ Board on behalf of Intel Corporation (Intel). The notification
conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15
CFR 400.22) was received on June 2, 2021.
The applicant indicates that a separate application will be
submitted for FTZ designation at the proposed facility under FTZ 281.
The facility will be used for the kitting, assembly and packaging of
computer electronics. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would
be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and components and
specific finished products described in the submitted notification (as
described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Intel from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below, Intel would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that apply to CPU/microprocessors, hard
disk drives, memory, flash memory with solid state storage, fan
heatsinks, memory boards, unhoused solid-state drives (SSDs), and
housed SSDs (duty-free). Intel 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: Articles
of plastic (labels, labels with light reflecting surface, seals, tape,
mylar labels, wraps, cases, clamshells, shells, bags, bottles, molded
clamshells, molded trays, covers, cushions); articles of foam (boards,
cushions, inserts, pads); articles of acrylic (bases, lids, trays);
paper labels; corrugated paperboard; paper packing containers; self-
adhesive labels; paper inserts; paper sleeves; printed paper
instruction guides; printed marketing material; printed warranty cards;
paper wrap; textile bags; flash memory with solid state storage; hard
disk drives; housed SSDs; fan heatsinks; memory board dual in-line
memory module (DIMMs); memory board single in-line memory module
(SIMMs); unhoused SSDs; CPUs/microprocessors; and, memory (duty rate
ranges from duty-free to 8.4%). The request indicates that textile bags
will be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (19 CFR
146.41), thereby precluding inverted tariff benefits on such items. The
request also indicates that certain materials/components are subject to
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.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to:
