Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and components and specific finished products described in the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.

The request indicates that the proposed foreign-status components are subject to ongoing antidumping/ countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigations.
