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

Production under FTZ procedures could exempt
Xerox from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in
export
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.
The components and materials sourced from abroad
include: Strontium
titanate; zinc stearate; titanium dioxide; silicon dioxide;
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); polymethylmethacrylate; bulk
toner;
