The County of Monroe, New York, grantee of FTZ 141, submitted a
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf
of Xerox Corporation (Xerox) located within Subzone 141B in Webster,
New York. The notification conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 7,
2016.
The Xerox facility is used for the production of bulk toner, toner
cartridges and photoreceptors. 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

production. On its domestic sales, Xerox would be able to choose the
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to bulk toner,
toner cartridges and photoreceptors (duty rates range from free to
6.5%) for the foreign-status inputs noted below. Customs duties also
could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.

titanate; zinc stearate; titanium dioxide; silicon dioxide;
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); polymethylmethacrylate; bulk toner;
