A separate request for subzone designation at the Cormetech
facility is planned and will be processed under Section 400.31 of the
FTZ Board's regulations. The facility is used for the production of

duty payments on the foreign status materials and components used in
export production. On its domestic sales, Cormetech would be able to
choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to
selective catalyst reduction catalysts and related elements (free) for
the foreign status inputs noted below. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.
The components and materials sourced from abroad include: Anatase
titanium dioxide; glass fiber; clay; carboxyl methyl cellulose;
polypropylene (RP chop); polyethylene oxide (PEO); ammonium
metavanadate (AMT); hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (methocel); manganese
