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. 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 March 19, 2012. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to April 2, 2012.
