Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 183, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Flextronics America, LLC; (Automatic Data Processing
Machines); Austin, Texas
Flextronics America, LLC submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in
Austin, Texas within Subzone 183C. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on
July 28, 2023.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status material(s)/component(s) and
specific finished product(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 finished
product(s) and 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 finished products include: mass data storage units;
various boards (logic; midplane; backplane); riser cards; structural
frames and structural enclosures for mass data storage units; internal
component support units; network switches; network adapters; network
switch chassis; firewalls; IoT network security appliances; and,
centralized network and firewall management appliances (duty rates are
duty-free).
The proposed foreign-status materials and components include: clay
desiccants; plastic components (labels; packaging; dust covers;
insulators; bags for packaging); die cut polyurethane foams; pallet
strap protectors; electrostatic discharge antistatic bags; cord
organizers; kraft tape; pack boxes (cardboard; corrugated cardboard);
paper components (labels; non-corrugated boxes; printed labels);
printed instruction sheets; stainless steel metal components (screws;
bolts; socket screws; hex screws; nuts; standoffs; washers; brackets;
structural frames and structural enclosures for mass data storage
units; contacts); steel components (springs; buttons); cooling fans for
multiple disk drive storage units; various drives (hard disk; serial
advanced technology attachment (SATA) solid state; flash storage); dual
