Foreign-Trade Zone 277—Western
Maricopa County, AZ; Application for
Manufacturing Authority; Suntech
Arizona, Inc., (Solar Panel
Manufacturing), Goodyear, AZ
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Greater Maricopa Foreign
Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 277,
requesting manufacturing authority on
behalf of Suntech Arizona, Inc.
(Suntech), 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 March 27, 2012.

Jkt 226001
The Suntech facility (100 employees,
117,000 square feet, 50 megawatt annual
capacity) is located within Site 5 of FTZ
277. The facility is used for the
manufacture of 275 and 290 watt solar
panels for industrial use. Components
and materials sourced from abroad
(representing 80% of the value of the
finished product) include: Junction
boxes, silicone sealant, putty/caulking
compounds, plastic sheets, glass, tincoated copper strips, aluminum frames,
insulation strips, and copper bars (duty
rate ranges from duty-free to 5.3%).
FTZ procedures could exempt
Suntech from customs duty payments
on the foreign components used in
export production. The company has no
current exports, but has indicated that it
may export in the future. On its
domestic sales, Suntech would be able
to choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to solar
panels (duty-free) for the foreign inputs
noted above. Suntech would also be
exempt from duty payments on any of
these foreign inputs that become scrap
or waste during manufacturing. FTZ
designation would further allow
Suntech to realize logistical benefits
through certain customs 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, Diane Finver 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 4, 2012. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
