DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B-52-2026]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 45, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; JAE Oregon Inc.; (Automotive Electrical Connectors and
Components); Tualatin, Oregon
JAE Oregon Inc. submitted a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in Tualatin,
Oregon within FTZ 45. The notification conforming to the requirements
of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 15,
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: automotive electrical
connectors, electrical terminals, brass sleeves, molded plastic
automotive electrical connector housing, and vehicle wire harnesses
(duty rate ranges from duty-free to 3.5%).
The proposed foreign-status materials/components include: gold
compounds; syndiotactic polystyrenes; polyphenylene ethers; liquid
crystal polymers; polybutylene terephthalates; reinforced polyamides;
polyphenylene sulfides; polymer based plastic tubing; rubber gaskets;
steel bolts; steel nuts; stainless steel springs; brass wires; copper
coils; yellow brass coils; bronze coils; copper alloy coils; molded
plastic connector housings; metal contact components for electrical
connectors; plastic housing components for electrical connectors;
copper bars; and copper zinc alloys (duty rate ranges from duty-free to
6.5%).
The request indicates that certain materials/components are subject
to duties under section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 122),
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 122, section 232, 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 yellow brass strip and PET resin are subject to an
antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) order/investigation if
imported from Japan. 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 (19 CFR 146.41).]
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to:
