Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 45; Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Epson Portland Inc. (Inkjet Ink Cartridges and Bottles),
Hillsboro, Oregon
Epson Portland Inc. submitted a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in Hillsboro,
Oregon within Subzone 45F. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on
September 18, 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 materials and components include liquid
black dye based unfinished/undiluted inkjet inks, liquid color pigment
based unfinished/undiluted inkjet inks for cartridges and bottles
(colors include magenta, red, yellow and blue), liquid color dye based
unfinished/undiluted inkjet inks for cartridges and bottles (colors
include magenta, red, yellow and blue) and solid plastic color additive
beads (black and gray) (duty rate ranges from 1.8% to 6.5%). The
request 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 146.41).
