An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Greater Rockford Airport
Authority, grantee of FTZ 176,
requesting special–purpose subzone
status for the fork–lift truck
manufacturing facilities of Nissan
Forklift Corporation North America
(NFC) (a subsidiary of Nissan Motor
Company, Ltd., of Japan), located in
Marengo, Illinois. The application was
submitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Foreign–Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR Part
400). It was formally filed on June 8,
2005.
The proposed subzone would include
NFC’s three facilities located in
McHenry County, Illinois: Site 1
(manufacturing/23 acres/389,000 sq.ft.)
located at 240 N. Prospect Street,
Marengo, Illinois, some two miles east
of Rockford, Illinois; Site 2 (warehouse–
distribution/11 acres/43,000 sq. ft.)
19720 East Grant Highway, Marengo,
about two miles to the southeast of Site
1; and Site 3 (leased warehouse/81,000
sq.ft.) 308 South Division Street,
Harvard, Illinois, about 12 miles north
of Site 1. The facilities (449 employees)
are used to produce rider type, fork–lift
trucks (Class I through Class V) powered
by gasoline, propane, or electric motors
(HTSUS 8427.10.4000, 8427.20.4000).
The manufacturing process at the
facilities involves painting, assembly,
and testing of up to 15,000 units
annually. Components purchased from
abroad (about 48% of finished fork–lift
truck value) used in manufacturing
include: plastic tubes/pipes/hoses/
fittings/gaskets/washers/seals/fasteners,
plastic knobs, rubber tubes/pipes/hoses,
rubber mats/o–rings/seals/handles/
knobs/vibration dampeners, paper/
paperboard labels and gaskets, articles
of textile materials (items under Textile
Categories 362/363/369/666/669 must
be admitted under privileged foreign
status 19 CFR § 146.41), fabricated items
of asbestos, mirrors, aging material,
casters, base metal mountings, flex
tubing, clasps, hydraulic engines,

brake components, hinges, pneumatic

measuring instruments (gauges),
speedometers, tachometers, fiber optic

FTZ procedures would exempt NFC
from Customs duty payments on the
foreign components used in export
production. On its domestic sales and
exports to NAFTA markets, the
company would be able to choose the
duty rate that applies to finished fork–
lift trucks (duty free) for the foreign–
sourced inputs noted above. Duties
would be deferred or reduced on foreign
production equipment admitted to the
proposed subzone until which time it
becomes operational. The application
indicates that subzone status would
help improve the facilities’ international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff
has been designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
