Foreign–Trade Zone 204, Tri–Cities
Area, TN/VA, Request for
Manufacturing Authority (Fractional
Horsepower Electric Motors)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Tri–Cities Airport
Commission, grantee of FTZ 204,
requesting authority on behalf of Electro
Motor, LLC for the manufacture of
fractional horsepower electric motors
under FTZ procedures within Site 5 of
FTZ 204 in Piney Flats, Tennessee. 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 August 19, 2005.
Electro Motor operates a
manufacturing facility (23 employees)
within Site 5 of FTZ 204 for the
manufacture of fractional horsepower
electric motors, with a capacity of
800,000 motors annually. The
company’s application indicates that the
finished products would enter the
United States at a duty rate of 3.3
percent ad valorem. Imported inputs are
projected to comprise approximately 50
percent of the value of finished products
produced under FTZ procedures.
Electro Motor indicates that the foreign
inputs that may be admitted under FTZ
procedures are unwound motor
assemblies (HTSUS category 8501.32)
and motor parts (8503.00). Duty rates on
the proposed imported components
currently range from 2.4 to 6.5 percent.
This application requests authority to
allow Electro Motor to conduct the
activity under FTZ procedures, which
would exempt the company from

Customs duty payments on the foreign
components used in export activity. On
its domestic sales, the company would
be able to choose the duty rate that
applies to finished products for the
foreign components noted above. The
application also indicates that the
company will derive savings from
deferral of duty on imported
components used in production of the
finished products, simplification and
expediting of the company’s import and
export procedures, and duty savings on
scrap/waste. Electro Motor’s application
indicates that the above–cited savings
from zone procedures could help
improve the company’s 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.

interested parties. Submissions (original
