While these products have been developed primarily for defense applications, the company plans to produce similar items suitable for industrial and commercial uses. Some 10 percent of the components and material inputs are sourced from abroad, including fabricated structures, electric motors, generators, generating sets and parts, automated data processing machines, magnets and batteries, electrical apparatus for line telephony, headphones and parts, recording media, transmission apparatus, electrical capacitors and resistors, printed circuits, cathode ray tubes, diodes and transistors, insulators and fittings, lenses and mirrors, lenses for projection, test instruments, oscilloscopes, analyzers, and measuring and checking instruments. Currently, over 40 percent of the finished equipment is exported. Zone procedures would exempt GE Aerospace Daytona from Customs duty payments on the foreign components used in its exports. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures would help improve the company's international competitiveness.
