benefits that may stem from conducting production activity under FTZ 
procedures are explained in the background section of the Board's

    The proposed finished products include printed circuit board 
assemblies, tester boxes, ribbon cable assemblies, and potentiometer 
boards (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 2.7%).
    The proposed foreign-status materials and components include: 
Printed circuit boards (PCBs); various capacitors (surface mount multi-
layer ceramic chip; aluminum electrolytic); various resistors (surface 
mount fixed chip; non-surface mount); surface mount chip inductors; 
various diodes (surface mount; light emitting; transient-voltage-
suppression); integrated circuits; various insulated copper cable with 
connectors (33 American Wire Gauge (AWG) or finer; larger than 22 AWG 
and finer but larger than 33 AWG); insulated copper cable larger than 
22 AWG; various through hole/surface mount switches (tactile; toggle);

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 (19 CFR
