Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 75, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; LG Energy Solution Arizona, Inc.; (Cylindrical Lithium-Ion
Battery Cells and Lithium Iron Phosphate Pouch-Type Batteries); Queen
Creek, Arizona
The City of Phoenix, grantee of FTZ 75, submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) on behalf of
LG Energy Solution Arizona, Inc. (LGESAI), for LGESAI's facilities in
Queen Creek,
[[Page 57852]]
Arizona within Subzone 75V. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on
July 8, 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 products include: cylindrical lithium-ion
battery cells and lithium-iron phosphate pouch-type batteries (duty-
rate 3.4%).
The proposed foreign-status materials/components include: anode
conductive agents; cathode conductive agents; N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone
(NMP) [solvent]; insulation solution comprised of NMP, based aluminum
oxide hydroxide, tannic acid, polyvinylidene fluoride and, styrene
butadiene rubber solution; anode active material comprised of
artificial and natural graphite and, silicon monoxide (SiO); cathode
active materials comprised of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides
and lithium, iron and, phosphoric acid (LFP(LiFePO4); conductive agents
comprised of NMP base, multi-wall carbon nano tube, water based single-
wall carbon nano tube; electrolytes comprised of lithium
hexafluorophosphate, ethylene, dimethyl, ethyl methyl and vinylene
carbonates and, ethylene sulfate); cathode binders comprised of
polyvinylidene fluoride; anode additives comprised of carboxymethyl
cellulose; insulation tapes; jelly roll tapes; seal tapes; stack cell
tapes; separators comprised of polyethylene alumina (Al2O3) coated,
polyethylene film and, polypropylene film); pouch; anode binders;
styrene-butadiene rubber; cathode additives; copper or nickel-plated
copper anode current collectors; copper foil; aluminum foil; aluminum
cathode current collectors; aluminum and nickel-plated steel riveting
can; stainless steel ventilation assemblies; lead assembly electrode
current collectors comprised of aluminum cathodes, copper anode, or
nickel-plated copper); and, polypropylene top insulators (duty rate
ranges from duty-free to 6.5%).
The request indicates that the 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
