Foreign-Trade Zone 272—Lehigh
Valley, Pennsylvania Application for
Subzone Grundfos Pumps
Manufacturing Corporation (MultiStage Centrifugal Pumps); Allentown,
PA
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Lehigh Valley Economic
Development Corporation, grantee of
FTZ 272, requesting special-purpose
subzone status for the multi-stage
centrifugal pump manufacturing facility
of Grundfos Pumps Manufacturing
Corporation (Grundfos), located in
Allentown, Pennsylvania. 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 March 24, 2010.
The Grundfos facility (15 employees,
7.4 acres, capacity—20,000 pumps
annually) is located at 2200 Hangar
Place, Allentown, Pennsylvania. The
facility is used for the manufacture and
assembly of multi-stage centrifugal
pumps used in commercial, residential,
heating/ventilation, and waste water
applications. Components and materials
sourced from abroad (representing 65%
of the value of the finished pumps)
include: Pump parts, electric motors,
plastic closures and o-rings, rubber orings and gaskets, labels, pipe fittings,
fasteners, motor couplings, and paper
gaskets (duty rates range from free to 8.5
percent).
FTZ procedures could exempt
Grundfos from customs duty payments
on the foreign components used in
export production. The company
anticipates that some 20 percent of the
plant’s shipments will be exported. On
its domestic sales, Grundfos would be
able to choose the duty rates during
customs entry procedures that apply to
finished centrifugal pumps (duty free)

for the foreign inputs noted above. FTZ
designation would further allow
Grundfos to realize logistical benefits
through the use of weekly customs entry
procedures. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign status production equipment.
The request indicates that the savings
from FTZ procedures would help
improve the plant’s international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Pierre Duy of the FTZ Staff
is designated examiner to evaluate and
analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations 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 June 1, 2010. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to June 14, 2010.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111,
