electric powertrain components, road

coatings, paints, and pedals (duty rates
range from free to 8.5%, 1.3¢/kg+5.7%).
FTZ procedures could exempt Tesla
from customs duty payments on the
foreign components used in export
production. The company anticipates
that 40 to 65 percent of the facilities’
shipments will be exported. On its
domestic sales, Tesla would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to finished
electric passenger vehicles, battery
packs, powertrain components, and
electronic modules (free–3.4%) for the
foreign inputs noted above. FTZ
designation would further allow Tesla
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. Tesla would also
be exempt from duty payments on
foreign inputs that become scrap during
the production process. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
facilities’ 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.

interested parties. Submissions (original

their receipt is March 19, 2012. Rebuttal
