[Docket 1-99]
Foreign-Trade Zone 72--Indianapolis, IN; Application for Subzone;
Tetra Pak Parts Americas, Inc. (Distribution of Parts for Liquid Food
Processing and Packaging Equipment), Greenwood, IN
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the Indianapolis Airport Authority, grantee of FTZ 72,
requesting special-purpose subzone status for the liquid food
processing and packaging equipment parts distribution facility of Tetra
Pak Parts Americas, Inc. (Tetra Pak), located in Greenwood, Indiana,
some 10 miles south of Indianapolis. The application was submitted
pursuant to the provisions of the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part
400). It was formally filed on January 6, 1999.
The Tetra Pak facility (10,784 sq. ft. on .3 acres) is located at
200 South Park Blvd., Greenwood, Indiana. The facility (14 employees)
is used for storage, inspection, packaging and distribution of a wide
variety of parts and components for liquid food processing and
packaging equipment. The products are distributed throughout North,
Central and South America. About 80 percent of the parts are sourced
from abroad and over 65 percent are exported. No authority is being
sought for activity conducted under FTZ procedures that would result in
a change in tariff classification.
Zone procedures would exempt Tetra Pak from Customs duty payments
on foreign parts that are reexported. On its domestic sales, the
company would be able to defer duty payments until merchandise is
shipped from the facility. The application indicates that the savings
from zone procedures would help improve the facility's international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ
staff has been appointed examiner to investigate the application and
report to the Board.
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
March 15, 1999. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period March 29, 1999.
A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be
available for public inspection at each of the following locations:
U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance Center, 11405 N.
Pennsylvania St., Ste 106, Carmel, Indiana 46032
Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
