QUALCOMM Incorporated; (Digital
Wireless Telecommunication
Products)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the City of San Diego, grantee
of FTZ 153, requesting special-purpose
subzone status for the manufacturing
facilities of QUALCOMM Incorporated,
located in San Diego, California. 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 15, 2006.
The QUALCOMM facilities (42
buildings/5,834,524 sq. ft./257 acres/
7600 employees) are located at: Site 1—
10945 Vista Sorrento Parkway; Site 2—
4243 Campus Point Court, 10290 and
10300 Campus Point Drive, and 10555
Sorrento Valley Road; Site 3—4755,

The facilities are used for research
and development, product testing,
manufacturing, packaging, warehousing
and distribution of digital wireless
telecommunications products. Finished
products from the manufacturing and
kitting operations could include mobile
communication terminal kits, test
telephones and antenna control units
(all duty-free). Imported parts and
components that may initially be
imported into the proposed subzone for
manufacturing and kitting include:
Antenna assemblies; cable assembly
kits; keypads; labels; protectors, cap
plugs; timing belts; o-rings and gaskets;
screws; antenna mountings; aluminum
tape; steppers; round nylon standoffs;
mounting frames; delrin spacers; battery
packs; receivers with adapters; parts of
cellular telephony including enhanced
display units, keyboards, lens
assemblies, radome assemblies and filter
saws; SIM cards; directional chip
couplers; inductor chips; dual mode
amplifiers; GPS mounting cups and
cable straps; adhesive rings for GPS
cups; self-thread screwlock inserts;
motor-mounting nut plates; chip
inductors; CPA boot codes; GPS radome
patch antennas; PTC resettable polyswitches; input connector receptacles;
conn. housing/solder contacts; and,
digital ACU cable assemblies. Duty rates
on these inputs range from duty-free to
8.6 percent.
The application also requests
authority to include a broad range of
inputs for other telecommunication
products that QUALCOMM may
produce under FTZ procedures in the
future. (New major activity involving
these inputs/products would require
review by the FTZ Board.) The duty
rates for these inputs and final products
range from duty-free to 20 percent.
FTZ procedures would exempt
QUALCOMM from Customs duty
payments on foreign products that are
re-exported. On domestic sales, the
company would be able to defer duty
payments until merchandise is shipped
from the facility and entered for U.S.
consumption, and to choose the duty
rate that applies to the finished product
instead of the rates applicable to the
foreign input materials. QUALCOMM
would be able to avoid duty on foreign
merchandise which becomes scrap/
waste, and the company also expects to
realize additional savings through the
use of weekly entry procedures and
zone to zone transfers. The application
indicates that the company will realize
certain logistical benefits through the
simplification and expediting of their
import and export activity.
QUALCOMM believes that all of the
above-cited savings from FTZ

procedures 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.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is October 20, 2006.
Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period (to November
6, 2006).
