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 146.41). Public comment is invited from interested parties.
