Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 158—
Jackson, Mississippi, Notification of
Proposed Production Activity, Traxys
Cometals USA, LLC (Manganese and
Aluminum Alloying Agents),
Burnsville, Mississippi
Traxys Cometals USA, LLC (Traxys
Cometals) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board for its facility in Burnsville,
Mississippi. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on March 11,
2020.
Traxys Cometals already has authority
to produce high-grade manganese and
aluminum alloying agents within FTZ
158. The current request would add a
finished product and a foreign status
material/component to the scope of
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
material/component and the specific
finished product described in the
submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Traxys Cometals from
customs duty payments on the foreignstatus materials/components used in
export production. On its domestic
sales, for the foreign-status material/
component noted below and in the
existing scope of authority, Traxys
Cometals would be able to choose the
duty rate during customs entry
procedures that applies to low-carbon
ferromanganese powder (duty rate
2.3%). Traxys Cometals 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 material/component sourced
from abroad is manganese powder (duty
rate 14%).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is May 4,
2020.
A copy of the notification will be
