Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt MANE from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus materials/components noted
below, MANE would be able to choose

other products) (duty free to 7.5%; 8.4¢/
Kg + 1.9%; 17¢/Kg + 1.9%; 30.5¢/Kg +
6.4%). MANE 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.

fittings are made in a variety of shapes
including, but not limited to, elbows, tees,
crosses, laterals, couplings, reducers, caps,
plugs, bushings, unions (including hammer
unions), and outlets. Forged steel fittings are
covered regardless of end finish, whether
threaded, socket-weld or other end
connections. The scope includes integrally
reinforced forged branch outlet fittings,
regardless of whether they have one or more
ends that is a socket welding, threaded, butt
welding end, or other end connections.
While these fittings are generally
manufactured to specifications ASME
B16.11, MSS SP–79, MSS SP–83, MSS–SP–

A182, the scope is not limited to fittings
made to these specifications.
The term forged is an industry term used
to describe a class of products included in
applicable standards, and it does not
reference an exclusive manufacturing
process. Forged steel fittings are not
manufactured from castings. Pursuant to the
applicable standards, fittings may also be
machined from bar stock or machined from
seamless pipe and tube.
All types of forged steel fittings are
included in the scope regardless of nominal
pipe size (which may or may not be
