Nevada, Notification of Proposed
Production Activity, Tesla Motors, Inc.,
Subzone 126D; (Lithium-Ion Batteries,
Electric Motors and Stationary Energy
Storage Systems), Sparks, Nevada
The Economic Development
Authority of Western Nevada, grantee of

proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board on behalf Tesla Motors, Inc.
(Tesla), operator of Subzone 126D, for
its facility located in Sparks, Nevada.
The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on July 20, 2016.
The facility is used for the production
of lithium-ion batteries, electric motors
and stationary energy storage systems.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ
activity would be limited to the specific
foreign-status materials and components
and specific finished products described
in the submitted notification (as
described below) and subsequently

Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Tesla from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status materials
and components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, Tesla
would be able to choose the duty rates

apply to lithium-ion batteries/cells/
modules, electric motors, and stationary
energy storage systems (duty rates—
2.8% or 3.4%) for the foreign-status
inputs noted below. Customs duties also
could possibly be deferred or reduced
on foreign-status production equipment.
