Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-62-2019]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 141--Rochester, New York; Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity; Eastman Kodak Company; (One-Time Use 
Cameras); Rochester, New York

    Eastman Kodak Company (Eastman Kodak) submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in 
Rochester, New York. The notification conforming to the requirements of 
the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on 
September 26, 2019.
    Eastman Kodak already has authority to produce printer cartridges 
and thermal media within FTZ 141. The current request would add a 
finished product and a foreign status component to the scope of 
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would 
be limited to the specific foreign-status component and specific 
finished product described in the submitted notification (as described 
below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Eastman Kodak 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, Eastman Kodak would be able to choose the duty rates during 
customs entry procedures that apply to underwater one-time use cameras 
(duty-free). Eastman Kodak 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 component sourced from abroad is a non-flash one-time use 
camera (duty-free). The request indicates that one-time use cameras are 
subject to special duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 
(Section 301), depending on the country of origin. The applicable 
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 November 20, 
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 Christopher Wedderburn at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-1963.

    Dated: October 7, 2019.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
