Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-32-2019]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 84--Harris County, Texas; Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity; Coreworks, LLC (Brazed Aluminum Heat 
Exchangers and Cryogenic Equipment); Katy, Texas

    Coreworks, LLC (Coreworks) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in Katy, Texas. 
The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of 
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on April 30, 2019.
    The applicant indicates that it will be submitting a separate 
application for FTZ designation at the Coreworks facility under FTZ 84. 
The facility is used for the production of brazed aluminum heat 
exchangers and cryogenic equipment. 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 
FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Coreworks 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, Coreworks would be able to choose the duty 
rates during customs entry procedures that apply to: Brazed aluminum 
heat exchangers; brazed aluminum heat exchanger parts; and, steel and 
aluminum cryogenic cold boxes (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 
4.2%). Coreworks 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.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: Aluminum 
fin stock; hollow aluminum end bars for core blocks; custom-shape, 
alloy aluminum end bars for core blocks; aluminum tubing structural 
shapes and supports; aluminum parting sheets for cores; aluminum braze 
foils; aluminum header and nozzle pipes; aluminum flanges; stainless 
steel skid cold box heat exchanger piping; stainless steel skid cold 
box structures; stainless steel fittings; steel flanges; stainless 
steel threaded fittings; butt welded fittings; steel forged fittings; 
vacuum braze furnace vacuum pumps; induction and resistance vacuum 
braze furnaces; seals, gaskets, pumps, filters and condenser panels for 
vacuum braze furnaces; die stamping presses; steel process separator 
drums; and, steel process vessel columns (duty rate ranges from duty-
free to 6.5%). The request indicates that certain materials/components 
are subject to special duties under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion 
Act of 1962 (Section 232) or Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 
(Section 301), depending on the country of origin. The applicable 
Section 232 and Section 301 decisions require subject merchandise to be 
admitted to FTZs in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to: 
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is June 17, 2019.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Reading Room'' section of the Board's website, which is 
accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
    For further information, contact Elizabeth Whiteman at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-0473.

    Dated: May 3, 2019.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
