Other materials that may also be purchased from abroad include transformers, capacitors, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, resistors, printed circuits, switches, wire, fasteners, and other electrical and automatic data processing equipment and components. Some 10 to 15 percent of the finished products are exported. Zone procedures would exempt STM from payments of Customs duties on foreign materials used in production for export. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures would help improve the plant's international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board.
