Proposed Production Activity Carrier InterAmerica Corporation (Heating, 
Ventilating and Air Conditioning Systems); Miami, Florida

    Miami-Dade County, grantee of FTZ 281, submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Carrier 
InterAmerica Corporation (Carrier), located in Miami, Florida. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on August 5, 2016.
    The Carrier facility is located within Site 3 of FTZ 281. The 
facility is used to combine and segregate mini-split and multi-split 
type heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. 
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)

    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Carrier from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, Carrier would be able to choose the 
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to mini-split and 
multi-split type HVAC systems and their component evaporator and 
condensing units (duty rates range from 1% to 2.2%) 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: Mini-
split type HVAC systems, evaporator units and condensing units (duty 
rates range from 1% to 2.2%).
