Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ)
168--Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas;
Notification of Proposed
Production Activity; Gulfstream Aerospace
Corporation (Disassembly of
Aircraft); Dallas, Texas
The
Metroplex International Trade Development Corporation,
grantee
of FTZ 168, submitted a
notification of proposed production activity to
the FTZ Board on behalf of
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation
(Gulfstream), located in
Dallas, Texas. The notification conforming to
the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22)
was received on December 7,
2018.
Gulfstream
already has authority to produce passenger jet aircraft
within Subzone 168E. The
current request involves the removal of items
from finished aircraft and
would add finished products and a foreign
status material/component to
the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), additional FTZ
authority would be limited to the specific
foreign-status
material/component and specific finished products
described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production
under FTZ procedures could exempt Gulfstream from
customs duty payments on the
foreign-status materials/components used
in export production. On its
domestic sales, for the foreign-status
materials/components noted
below and in the existing scope of
authority, Gulfstream would
be able to choose the duty rates during
customs entry procedures that
apply to: Accumulators; actuators;
adapters; amplifiers; arm
assemblies; armrests; attenuators; auxiliary
power units; avionics media;
crash axes; baffles;
