component noted below Bauer would be able to choose the duty rates 
during customs entry procedures that apply to the company's finished 
products previously approved by the FTZ Board (duty rate ranges from 
duty-free to 5%). Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or 
reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
