Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 38, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; BMW Manufacturing Company, LLC; (Passenger Motor Vehicles);
Spartanburg, South Carolina
BMW Manufacturing Company, LLC 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 February 22, 2023.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status material(s)/component(s)
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 material(s)/component(s) 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 component is an aluminum instantaneous
water heater (duty-free). The request indicates that aluminum
instantaneous water heaters 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
