Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 75--Phoenix, Arizona, Notification of
Proposed Production Activity, Isola USA Corporation (Dielectric Prepreg
and Copper-Clad Laminate), Chandler, Arizona
The City of Phoenix, Arizona, grantee of FTZ 75, submitted a
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf
of Isola USA Corporation (Isola), located in Chandler, Arizona. The
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 19, 2014.
A separate application for usage-driven site designation at the
Isola facility was submitted and will be processed under Section 400.38
of the Board's regulations. The facility is used to produce customized
dielectric prepreg and copper-clad laminate sheets used by its
customers to fabricate multilayer printed circuit boards. Pursuant to
15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific
foreign-status material 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 Isola from customs
duty payments on the foreign status material used in export production.
On its domestic sales, Isola would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that apply to customized dielectric
prepreg and copper-clad laminate sheets (duty rates--4.2% and 3%,
respectively) for foreign-status electrical grade woven fiberglass
rolls (HTSUS 7019.52.4010, duty rate--7.3%). Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address
below. The closing period for their receipt is May 13, 2014.
A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
