authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
component described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt BMW MC from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
component used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus component noted below, BMW
MC would be able to choose the duty
rate during customs entry procedures
that applies to passenger motor vehicles
(duty rate 2.5%). BMW MC 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 component sourced from abroad
is electronic toll collection systems
(duty-free). The request indicates that
electronic toll collection systems are
subject to 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

On April 30, 2019, in the U.S. District
Court for the Western District of Texas,
Irma Lizette Trevizo (‘‘Trevizo’’), was

knowingly and willfully conspiring to
smuggle firearms and ammunition from
the United States to Mexico. Trevizo
was sentenced to 24 months in prison,
supervised release for two years and a
$100 special assessment.
Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the
Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1
the export privileges of any person who
has been convicted of certain offenses,
including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C.
371, may be denied for a period of up

BIS received notice of Trevizo’s
conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 371,
and has provided notice and
opportunity for Trevizo to make a

in Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or
the ‘‘Regulations’’). 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS
has not received a written submission
from Trevizo.
Based upon my review of the record
and consultations with BIS’s Office of
Exporter Services, including its
Director, and the facts available to BIS,
I have decided to deny Trevizo’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of 10 years from the date of
Trevizo’s conviction. I have also
decided to revoke any BIS-issued
licenses in which Trevizo had an
interest at the time of her conviction.3
