DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B-52-2025]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 45, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Nanoverse Technologies; (Semiconductor Production Equipment);
Beaverton, Oregon
Nanoverse Technologies submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in
Beaverton, Oregon within FTZ 45. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on
October 9, 2025.
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: laser scribing tool;
metrology tool; metrology/laser tool; laser scribing tool sub-
assemblies; and, metrology tool sub-assemblies (duty-free).
The proposed foreign-status materials/components include: green and
ultraviolet lasers (50, 80, and 100 watts); equipment front end
modules; transfer robots; coat/clean systems; water-cooled temperature-
controlled precision air processors (HEPA filtration); water-cooled
thermo-chillers; peripheral cabinets; line scan cameras; frame
grabbers; objective lenses (achromat, plan achromat, fluorite, and
apochromat, with magnifications from 0.5x-100x); stainless steel
fabricated brackets, mounting plates, spacers, substrates; cables and
cable assemblies fitted with connectors, not used for
telecommunications, under 1,000 volts (USB, RJ45 ethernet, coaxial,
terminal, and circular connectors); unmounted lenses (plano convex,
plano concave, cylindrical, and Fresnel); unmounted mirrors (concave,
convex, spherical, parabolic, and elliptical mirrors); mounted mirrors
for laser path direction; pellicle beam splitters and polarizers;
granite slabs (8 inches thick); digital still image video cameras;
resistance temperature detectors; aluminum fabricated mounting (plates,
brackets, spacers); coax cable with LED green spotlight; printed
circuit assemblies for semiconductor manufacturing equipment; lens
tubes not containing optical elements but, mechanical parts designed to
hold optics; solenoid valves; high precision flow regulators; mounted
optical diffusers; precision positioning stages providing motion in X,
Y and theta/rotational axis; laser scan heads (2 axis galvanometer for
laser positioning); enterprise rack servers (high performance computing
systems); servo drives used to control servo motors; power supply unit
for galvo drives (input 115V AC, output <plus-minus>40V DC); optical
modulators; touch screen monitors; optical power meters that measure
laser power; system on modules designed as a component for data
processing machines; quick connect/disconnect couplings; wafer chuck;
pneumatic actuators; motor steppers; and, pressure sensors (duty rate
ranges from duty-free to 6.0%). The request indicates that certain
materials/components are subject to duties under section 1702(a)(1)(B)
of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (section 1702),
section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (section 232), or
section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (section 301), depending on the
country of origin. The applicable section 1702, section 232, and
section 301 decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to
FTZs in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
