Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 12–97]

Foreign-Trade Zone 18, San Jose, CA,

Request for Manufacturing Authority,

Solectron Corporation Plant

(Electronic/Computer/

Telecommunication Equipment), San

Jose, California

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by San Jose Distribution

Services, operator of FTZ 18, pursuant

to § 400.32(b)(1)(ii) of the Board’s

regulations (15 CFR part 400),

requesting authority on behalf of

Solectron Corporation, to ‘‘kit’’/

assemble computer/telecommunication

subassemblies and products within FTZ

18. It was formally filed on March 7,

1997.

Solectron Corporation is a contract

assembler/manufacturer of computer/

telecommunication subassemblies and

products, specializing in the production

of complex printed circuit boards.

Solectron plans to use a site (up to

20,000 sq. ft.) within FTZ 18 to conduct

a range of activities under zone

procedures as an adjunct to operations

at its Milpitas, California, plant. The

requested scope of authority for

manufacturing under zone procedures

parallels the range of activity conducted

at the Milpitas plant.

Solectron is proposing to ‘‘kit’’/

assemble a variety of computer/

telecommunication equipment and

subassemblies within FTZ 18, including

printed circuit board assemblies,

computers and components,

telecommunication equipment and

components, fax machines and modems.

Foreign components, which will

account for an estimated 40 to 50

percent of material value, may include

printed circuit boards, conductors,

resistors, transmitters, diodes,

transistors, capacitors, fuses, circuit

breakers, switches, surge suppressors,

motor starters, modems, facsimile

machines and parts, routers and

bridgers, computer and

telecommunications equipment parts. It

is estimated that some 40 percent of the

FTZ production would be exported.

Zone procedures would exempt

Solectron from Customs duty payments

on foreign components used in

production for export. On domestic

sales, the company would be able to

choose the duty rate (duty-free to 8.5%,

with most less than 2.7%) that applies

to the finished product. The duty rates

on foreign components range from dutyfree to 9.8% percent. The application

indicates that zone procedures will

improve the plant’s international

competitiveness and will help increase

exports.

Public comment is invited from

interested parties. Submissions (original

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the

Board’s Executive Secretary at the

address below. The closing period for

their receipt is May 19, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period to May 2, 1997.

A copy of the request will be available

for public inspection at the following

locations:
