DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B-53-2025]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 30, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Boart Longyear Company; (Diamond Drill Bits); West Valley
City, Utah
Boart Longyear Company submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in
West Valley City, Utah, within FTZ 30. The notification conforming to
the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on December 2, 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 product is diamond drill bits (duty rate
5.0%).
The proposed foreign-status materials/components include graphite
rods for machining into molds, graphite molds, synthetic industrial
diamonds used for drill bits, diamond powder, and tungsten powder (duty
rate ranges from duty-free to 7.0%). 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), or
section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (section 301), depending on the
country of origin. The applicable section 1702 and section 301
decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
privileged foreign (PF) status (19 CFR 146.41). The request also
indicates that graphite rods are subject to an antidumping/
countervailing duty (AD/CVD) order/investigation if imported from the
People's Republic of China. The Board's regulations (15 CFR
400.13(c)(2)) require that merchandise subject to AD/CVD orders, or
items which would be otherwise subject to suspension of liquidation
under AD/CVD procedures if they entered U.S. customs territory, be
admitted to the zone in PF status.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to:

2026.
