DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
ForeignTrade Zone 26 Atlanta, Georgia, Application for
Temporary/Interim Manufacturing Authority, Perkins Shibaura Engines LLC, (Compact Diesel Engines), Griffin, Georgia
An application has been submitted to the Executive Secretary of the ForeignTrade Zones Board (the Board) by Georgia ForeignTrade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 26, requesting temporary/interim manufacturing (T/ IM) authority within Site 6 of FTZ 26, at the facilities of Perkins Shibaura Engines LLC (Perkins) located in Griffin, Georgia. The application was filed on December 8, 2005.
The Perkins facility (135 employees; annual capacity for 30,000 engines) is located within Site 6 of FTZ 26 at 325 Green Valley Road, Griffin, Georgia. Under T/IM procedures, the company has requested authority to manufacture compact diesel engines (HTS 8408.90; these products enter the United States duty free). The company may source the following input items from abroad for manufacturing the finished products under T/IM authority, as delineated in Perkins' application: fuel pumps, injectors, and water pumps (HTS 8413.30); crankshafts and camshafts (8483.10); flywheels and pulleys (8483.50); oil/fuel filter (8421.23); starter motors (8511.40); glowplugs (8511.80); regulating valves (8481.80); rubber seals and Orings (4016.93); fasteners (7318.15); and bearing housings/plain shaft bearings (8483.30). Duty rates on these inputs range from dutyfree to 8.5%. T/IM authority could be granted for a period of up to two years. Perkins has also submitted a request for permanent FTZ manufacturing authority (for which Board filing is pending), which includes ten additional inputs.
FTZ procedures would allow Perkins to elect the finishedproduct duty rates for the ten imported production inputs listed above. The company indicates that it would also realize logistical/paperwork savings, dutydeferral savings, and savings on exports under FTZ procedures. The company may realize duty deferral savings on the ten additional inputs mentioned above if they are stored in the FTZ until introduction into the manufacturing process.
