Sedgwick County, grantee of FTZ 161, 

requesting temporary/interim 

manufacturing (T/IM) authority within 

FTZ 161 at the Siemens Energy, Inc. 

(Siemens), facilities located in 

Hutchinson, Kansas. The application 

was filed on April 2, 2012. 

The Siemens facilities (approximately 

300 employees, up to 800 nacelles and 

hubs/year) are located at 1000 

Commerce Street (Site 3) and 714 North 

Corey Road (Site 4) in Hutchinson (Reno

2.5%). Foreign components that would 

be used in production (representing up 

to 50% of the value of the finished 

nacelles and hubs) include: greases/oils 

(HTSUS 2710.19), resins (3214.10), 

plastic/rubber washers and seals

on the foreign components used in 

export production. On its domestic 

sales, Siemens would be able to choose 

the duty rates during customs entry

nacelles and hubs (duty rate: free, 2.5%) 

for the foreign inputs noted above.
