Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 189--Kent/Ottawa/Muskegon Counties,
Michigan; Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Adient US LLC;
Subzone 189D (Motorized Seat Adjusters for Motor Vehicles); Holland and
Zeeland, Michigan
Adient US LLC (Adient), owned by Johnson Controls, Inc., submitted
a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its
facilities within FTZ 189D, at sites in Holland and Zeeland, Michigan.
The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on July 13, 2016.
The facilities are used for the production of motorized seat
adjusters for motor vehicles. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ
activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status components and
specific finished product described in the submitted notification (as
described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.

production. On its domestic sales, Adient would be able to choose the
duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to motorized
seat adjusters (duty free) for the foreign-status electric seat
adjuster motors (duty rate--2.8%). Customs duties also could possibly
be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
