(Commercial Bus Manufacturing); Jackson Center, Ohio The Greater Dayton Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 100, submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of THOR Industries, Inc. (THOR), located in Jackson Center, Ohio. The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on November 26, 2013. THOR already has authority to produce recreational vehicles within FTZ Subzone 100D. The current request would add a finished product and a foreign-status component to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign-status component and specific finished product described in the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.

On its domestic sales, THOR would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to commercial buses (duty rate of 2%) for the foreign status inputs noted below and in the existing scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment. The component sourced from abroad is: Chassis (duty rate of 25%).
