Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 189—Kent/ 

Ottawa/Muskegon Counties, Michigan; 

Notification of Proposed Production 

Activity; Helix Steel; (Twisted Steel 

Micro Rebar); Grand Rapids, Michigan 

The KOM Foreign Trade Zone 

Authority, grantee of FTZ 189, 

submitted a notification of proposed 

production activity to the FTZ Board on 

behalf of Helix Steel, located in Grand 

Rapids, Michigan. The notification 

conforming to the requirements of the 

regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 

400.22) was received on August 13, 

2018. 

The Helix Steel facility is located 

within Site 11 of FTZ 189. The facility 

is used for the production of twisted 

steel micro rebar. Pursuant to 15 CFR 

400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited 

to the specific foreign-status material/ 

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 Helix Steel from customs 

duty payments on the foreign-status 

component used in export production. 

On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus material/component noted below, 

Helix Steel would be able to choose the 

duty rate during customs entry 

procedures that applies to twisted steel 

micro rebar (3.9%). Helix Steel 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 material/component sourced 

from abroad is: 0.5 mm high-carbon 

electroplated zinc wire (duty-free). The 

request indicates that the material/ 

component is subject to special duties 

under Section 232 of the Trade 

Expansion Act of 1962, if imported from 

certain countries. The Section 232 

proclamation requires subject 

merchandise to be admitted to the zone 

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 at the address below. The
