Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Corp., U.S.A. submitted a notification in October 2024 to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board regarding proposed production activities at their Lincoln, Nebraska facility. This notification followed the FTZ Board's regulations and was open for public comment in the Federal Register. By February 2025, the FTZ Board decided that no additional review was needed and authorized the production activities under regulatory guidelines. This decision allows Kawasaki to continue its proposed manufacturing operations within the designated foreign-trade zone.
Simple Explanation
Kawasaki got the green light from a special board to make some of their small cars in a special area in Nebraska where they can do their work with less rules. They can keep doing this because everything checked out okay, and people got a chance to say what they thought about it!
