Foreign-Trade Zone 12—McAllen,
Texas; Application for Production
Authority; Black & Decker (U.S.), Inc.
(Lithium Ion Battery Assembly for
Cordless Power Tools), Mission, Texas
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the McAllen Foreign Trade Zone Inc.,
grantee of FTZ 12, requesting
production authority on behalf of Black
& Decker (U.S.), Inc. (Black & Decker),
located in Mission, Texas. The
application conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.23) was
docketed on October 25, 2019.
The Black & Decker facility (180
employees, 17.2 acres) is located within
Site 4 of FTZ 12. The facility is used for
the manufacture/assembly of cordless
power tools and of power tool
components (lithium ion batteries,
plastic injection molded parts, cordless
motors, and certain subassemblies), and
for the packaging/kitting of power tools
with their components. In 2018, Black &
Decker requested production authority
in a notification proceeding (15 CFR
400.22 and 400.37). After an initial
review, the requested production
authority was approved subject to a
restriction requiring that lithium ion
batteries and related components be
admitted in privileged foreign status,
which precludes inverted tariff benefits
on those inputs (see B–33–2018, 83 FR
50636, October 9, 2018). The pending
application proposes to remove that
restriction.
If the application were approved, on
its domestic sales, Black & Decker
would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that
apply to lithium ion batteries (duty rate:
3.4%) and cordless power tools (duty
rate ranges between duty free to 4%) for
the foreign-status inputs noted below.
The company currently intends to ship
a significant portion of its Mission-

produced battery packs zone to zone to
its manufacturing facility (Subzone
38M) in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Black
& Decker would be able to avoid duty
on foreign-status components which
become scrap/waste. 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.
Components and materials sourced
from abroad (representing 60 percent of
the value of the finished battery pack)
include lithium ion batteries and related
parts (lithium ion cells, assembly
housings, cell holders, front insert
covers, cover housings, and latches)
(duty rate: 3.4%). The request indicates
that certain materials/components are
subject to special duties under Section
301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section
301), depending on the country of
origin. The applicable Section 301
decisions require subject merchandise
to be admitted to FTZs in privileged
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
In accordance with the FTZ 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 FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
January 3, 2020. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
January 21, 2020.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ
Board’s website, which is accessible via
www.trade.gov/ftz.

Finver at Diane.Finver@trade.gov or
