Foreign-Trade Zone 22—Chicago,
Illinois, Request for Manufacturing
Authority, Michelin North America
Proposed Subzone, (Wheel Assembly),
Monee, Illinois
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Illinois International Port
District, grantee of FTZ 22, requesting
authority on behalf of Michelin North
America (MNA) to assemble wheels
under FTZ procedures at the MNA
distribution facility located in Monee,
Illinois. The application was formally
filed on February 2, 2006.
The applicant is requesting to perform
wheel assembly using domestic and
foreign components on behalf of auto
manufacturer clients at the proposed
MNA subzone in Monee, Illinois (FTZ
Doc. 15–2005, 70 FR 14443, 3/22/05).
Foreign–sourced components include
tires (HTSUS 4011.10, 4011.20, 4011.61,
4011.62, 4011.63, 4011.92, 4011.93,
4011.94, 4011.99, duty–free to 4.0%),
wheel rims (HTSUS 8708.70, duty–free
to 2.5%), flaps (HTSUS 4012.90, duty–
free to 4.2%), valves (HTSUS 8481.80,
duty–free to 5%), tubes (HTSUS
4013.10, duty–free to 3.7%), gaskets
(HTSUS 4016.93, duty–free to 2.5%),
sensors (HTSUS 8525.10, duty–free),
and nuts (HTSUS 7318.16, duty–free).
FTZ procedures would exempt MNA
from Customs duty payments on the
foreign components used in production
for export to non–NAFTA countries. On
shipments for U.S. consumption and to
NAFTA markets, MNA could elect the
wheel assembly duty rate (generally
dutiable as an auto part ¥2.5%) for the
foreign components (mostly tires
dutiable at 4%) listed above. The auto
part duty rate (2.5%) would apply if the
wheel assemblies are shipped via zone–
to-zone transfer to U.S. motor vehicle
assembly plants with subzone status.
The application indicates that the
savings from FTZ procedures would
help improve the facility’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.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at one of
