Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 38--Spartanburg County, South Carolina;
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; BMW Manufacturing
Company, LLC (Passenger Motor Vehicles); Spartanburg, South Carolina
BMW Manufacturing Company, LLC (BMW MC) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its
facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina within Subzone 38A. The
notification conforming to the requirements of the Board's regulations
(15 CFR 400.22) was received on October 22, 2021.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status components described in the
submitted notification (summarized below) and subsequently authorized
by the Board. The benefits that may stem from conducting production
activity under FTZ procedures are explained in the background section
of the Board's website--accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>. The proposed
components would be added to the production authority that the Board
previously approved for the operation, as reflected on the Board's
website.
The proposed foreign-status components include 48-volt lithium-ion
batteries and non-rubber brake lines (duty rate ranges from duty-free
to 2.7%). The request indicates that the materials 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 (19 CFR 146.41).
