Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 148--Knoxville, Tennessee; Notification
of Proposed Production Activity; CoLinx, LLC; (Bearing Units)
Crossville, Tennessee
CoLinx, LLC (CoLinx) submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facilities in Crossville,
Tennessee within FTZ 148. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on November 17, 2016.
CoLinx already has authority to produce kits of bearing products
within Sites 2, 6, 8 and 9 of FTZ 148. The current request would add
foreign status materials/components to the scope of authority. Pursuant
to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the
specific foreign-status materials/components described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the
FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt CoLinx from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, CoLinx would be able to choose the
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to mounted unit
roller assemblies (housed, spherical roller bearing units) and mounted
unit ball assemblies (housed ball bearing units) (duty rate 4.5%) for
the foreign-status materials/components noted below. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
The materials/components sourced from abroad include: Single-row,
radial ball bearings (Y-bearings); bearings housings for ball bearings;
and, corrugated paperboard boxes (duty rate ranges from duty-free to
5.8%).
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address
