Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 83, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Adtran, Inc.; (Telecommunications Equipment); Huntsville,
Alabama
Adtran Inc., submitted a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in Huntsville,
Alabama within Subzone 83G. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on
March 26, 2026.
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: optical line termination
devices and network channel cards (duty rates are duty-free).
The proposed foreign-status materials/components include: aluminum
electrolytic capacitors; multilayer ceramic capacitors; conductive
copper foil (less than 0.15mm); connectors for printed circuits;
connector terminals; converters used for networking items; diodes;
aluminum distance sleeves; stainless steel non-threaded distance
sleeves; stainless steel threaded distance sleeves; electromechanical
relays; equipment mounting brackets; fan assemblies; fixed carbon
resistor networks; surface mount fixed carbon resistors; surface mount
fixed metal film resistors; fuses; foam gasket; light-emitting diode
light pipes; stainless steel spring lock washers; steel torx screws;
