Zone procedures would exempt production associated with the proposed expansion from customs duty payments on the foreign products used in exports. On domestic sales, the company would be able to choose the customs duty rates for certain petrochemical feedstocks (duty-free) by admitting foreign crude oil in nonprivileged foreign status. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures help improve the refinery’s international competitiveness.
