The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on November 17, 2017. MIASF's facilities are located within Subzone 241A. The facilities are used for yacht repair and refitting. 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. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt MIASF from customs duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export production (estimated 95 percent of production). On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/components noted below, MIASF would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to yachts, inflatable boats, boat tenders, and outboard motor tenders (duty-rate ranges from 1% to 2.4%). MIASF 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 components and materials sourced from abroad include: Diesel marine propulsion engines; fuel pumps; fuel coolers; oil pumps; oil coolers; fuel injectors; fuel injector pumps; heat exchangers for marine propulsion engines;

The request also indicates that the following components will be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (thereby precluding inverted tariff benefits on those components): Aluminum piping; rubber v-belts combined with textiles; gear box mounts; aluminum sound shields; aluminum tank fittings; aluminum booms; aluminum masts; aluminum spreaders; aluminum solid rods; synthetic fiber lifelines; awnings and canvas covers; carpet flooring; textile wall coverings; blinds; curtains; shades- window treatments; leather, polyester and polyurethane fabrics; PVC coated vinyl upholstery replacements; electric door closers; manual door hinges; kitchen, bedroom and bathroom cabinetry; cabinetry hardware; wood veneers; television lifts and enclosures; and, mounting hardware.
