Notification of Proposed Production
Activity, Crosman Corporation
(Airguns), Bloomfield and Farmington,
New York
Crosman Corporation (Crosman)
submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the Foreign-Trade
Zones (FTZ) FTZ Board for its facilities
in Bloomfield and Farmington, New
York within a proposed foreign-trade
zone in Ontario County, New York (FTZ
Docket B–80–2013, 78 FR 53127–53128,
8/28/2013). The notification conforming
to the requirements of the regulations of
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on December 4, 2013.
The Crosman facilities would be
located within a subzone of the
proposed Ontario County zone. The
facilities are used for the inspection,
assembly, kitting, testing and packaging
of airguns. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited
to the specific foreign-status materials/
components and specific finished
products described in the submitted
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Crosman from customs
duty payments on the foreign status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales,
Crosman would be able to choose the
duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to airguns, break
barrel airguns, variable pump airguns,
CO2 airguns, and airsoft guns (duty rate
ranges from duty-free to 3.9%) for the
foreign status materials/components
noted below. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign status production equipment.
The materials/components sourced
from abroad include: Liquid crystal and
laser optical sights and mounts; gun
cases and holsters with outer surface of
plastic or textile material; telescopic
sights for rifles; portable electrical
lamps and flashlights; pistols, rifles and
other guns which eject missiles by
release of compressed air or gas, or by
release of a spring mechanism or rubber
held under tension; stocks and other
parts for airgun rifles and pistols;
imitation jewelry, such as dog tags;
protective eyewear; nickel-cadmium
storage batteries; fiber optic sights;
spectacle lenses; and, electrical
transformers with a power output not
exceeding 50W (duty rate ranges from
1.5 to 17.6%). The request indicates that
gun cases and holsters classified under
HTSUS Subheading 4202.92 will be
admitted to the zone in privileged
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41), thereby
precluding inverted tariff benefits on
such items.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is
January 21, 2014.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,
