Proposed Production Activity; Laser Galicia America LLC (Bending and
Assembly of Trafo Wall); Aurora, Colorado
The Town of Limon, Colorado, grantee of FTZ 293, submitted a
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf
of Laser Galicia America LLC (Laser Galicia), located in Aurora,
Colorado. The notification conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on April 6,
2018.
The applicant indicates that it will be submitting a separate
application for FTZ usage-driven designation at the Laser Galicia
facility within FTZ 293. The facility is used for the bending and
assembly of trafo wall. 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
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the

Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Laser Galicia from
customs duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below, Laser Galicia would be able to choose the duty
rate during customs entry procedures that apply to front section trafo
wall, top section trafo wall, and left section trafo wall (duty rate--
3.0%). Laser Galicia would be able to avoid duty on foreign-status
components which become scrap/waste. Customs duties also could possibly
be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
