Foreign-Trade Zone 277—Western
Maricopa County, AZ; Application for
Manufacturing Authority, Sub-Zero,
Inc. (Refrigerators and Freezers),
Goodyear, AZ
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Greater Maricopa County
Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ
277, requesting manufacturing authority
on behalf of Sub-Zero, Inc. (Sub-Zero),
located in Goodyear, Arizona. 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 November 10, 2011.
The Sub-Zero facility (260 employees,
10 acres, 150,000 units/year) is located
at 4295 N. Cotton Lane within the Palm
Valley 303 Industrial Park in Goodyear,
Arizona (Site 3). The facility is used to
manufacture refrigerators, freezers, and
wine storage units for export and the
domestic market. Components and
materials sourced from abroad
(representing 14% of the value of the
finished products) include: Oils,
greases, paints, varnishes, caulking,
sealants, cleansers, glues/adhesives,
epoxies, chemical binding agents,
polyethylenes, polystyrenes, polyvinyl
acetates, polyamides, articles of plastic,
silicones, boxes, cases, crates, pallets,
ethylene bags, stoppers/lids/caps, table
utensils, articles of rubber, articles of
paper, printed materials, slag/rock
wools, safety glass, silver, fasteners,
springs, wire, articles of steel, copper
tubes/pipes/fittings/profiles, aluminum
bars/rods/profiles/fasteners/foil/fittings,
structures of aluminum, articles of zinc,
articles of magnesium, locks, base metal
mountings, automatic door actuators,
pumps, compressors, fans, air
conditioners, heat pumps, refrigerator
parts, filters, process controllers, taps,
valves, bearings, gears, electric motors
and parts thereof, transformers,
semiconductor devices, converters,
magnets, electrical components, lamps,
coaxial cable, insulators, regulators,
thermostats, timers, and lighters (duty
rate range: Free—10.7%; 14.8¢/kg +
3.5%; 45¢ ea. + 6.4% + 2.5¢/jewel).
FTZ procedures could exempt SubZero from customs duty payments on
foreign materials and components used
in export production. The company
anticipates that some 10 percent of the
plant’s shipments will be exported. On
its domestic sales, Sub-Zero would be
VerDate Mar<15>2010

able to choose the duty rate during
customs entry procedures that applies to
refrigerators, freezers, and wine storage
units (duty rate—free) for the foreign
inputs noted above. Sub-Zero would
also be exempt from duty payments on
any of the foreign inputs that become
scrap or waste during manufacturing.
FTZ designation would further allow
Sub-Zero 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 application 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 January 17, 2012.
Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period to January 30,
2012.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111,
