The Port of Milwaukee, grantee of FTZ 41, submitted a notification

regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 9, 2024.
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: electric marine outboard
and inboard motors of various wattages; electric marine motor
powerheads; transom bracket assemblies; and electric marine motor
tiller handles (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 3.7%).
The proposed foreign-status materials/components include: glycol

unfinished or non-marinized outboard or inboard electric motors
(electric motors not ready for use as marine motors); electric steering
actuators; electric tillers; motor spacers; stator motors; rotors;

circuit boards; isolation monitor; high-voltage connectors; charging
ports; power distribution boxes (also known as junction boxes); power
centers; and water pump drive control units (duty rate ranges from

components may be 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).
