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

motors, pump parts, mechanical seals, plastic o-rings, rubber o-rings, 
shafts, flanges, motor and shaft couplings, and fasteners (duty rates 
range from free to 8.5 percent).
    FTZ procedures could exempt ITTWT from customs duty payments on the
