[Docket 49–2007]
Foreign–Trade Zone 22 Chicago,
Illinois
Application for Subzone: Sony
Electronics Inc. (Audio, Video,
Communications and Information–
Technology Products and
Accessories), Romeoville, 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
special–purpose subzone status for the
warehousing and distribution facility of
Sony Electronics Inc. (Sony), located in
Romeoville, 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
December 4, 2007.
The Sony facility (50–150 employees,
25 acres, 562,624 square feet) is located
at 99 North Pinnacle Drive, in
Romeoville, Illinois. The facility is used
for the storage, distribution, packaging,
kitting, inspecting, testing and repair of
audio, video, communications and
information–technology products and
accessories.
Zone procedures would exempt Sony
from customs duty payments on
products that are re–exported. Some 5
percent of the products are re–exported.
On its domestic sales, the company
would be able to defer duty payments
until merchandise is shipped from the
facilities and entered for consumption.
FTZ designation would further allow
Sony to utilize certain customs
procedures resulting in increased
efficiencies for its logistics and
distribution operations. In addition,
Sony is requesting authority to choose
the duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to kits and
accessory sets, including digital camera
and camcorder kits (duty rate ranges
from duty–free to 2.1%) for the
following imported components:
memory sticks, digital still cameras,
digital camcorders, refill paper packs,
photo printers, DVD players, home
theaters and rechargeable battery packs
(duty rate ranges from duty–free to
4.5%). The company has also indicated
that it will import soft carrying cases
(HTS 4202 and 5911, duty rate ranges
from 2–17.6%), but that they will be
admitted to the zone in privileged
foreign status. The request indicates that
the savings from FTZ procedures would
