Download as PDF 31812 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 4, 2008 / Notices and wire (7904.00) (duty rates: duty– free to 5.8 percent). FTZ procedures would exempt IG from customs duty payments on the foreign components used in export production. Approximately 25 percent of production could be exported. On domestic sales, the company could choose the lower duty rate that applies to the finished product (2.5 to 6 percent) for the imported components used in manufacturing. The majority of IG’s savings will come from the elimination of duties on materials that become scrap/waste during manufacturing. IG may also realize savings related to direct delivery and weekly customs entry procedures. The application indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility’s international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, Christopher Kemp of the FTZ staff is 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 listed below.

quality control, labeling, marking, warehousing, and distribution of 
foreign and domestic tires for the U.S. and export markets. None of the

regulations. The application indicates that FTZ procedures would be 
used to support Michelin's California-based distribution activity in 
competition with facilities abroad.

    FTZ procedures would exempt Michelin from customs duty payments on 
foreign products that are re-exported (some 5-10% of shipments). On its 
domestic shipments, duty payments would be deferred until the products 
are entered for consumption. The company may also realize certain 
logistical benefits related to the use of direct delivery and weekly 
customs entry procedures. The application indicates that the savings 
from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility's international 
competitiveness.
