TRADE AND TARIFF ACT OF 1984, AS AMENDED TITLE II-CUSTOMS AND MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS * Subtitle C-Miscellaneous Provisions * SEC. 231. FOREIGN TRADE ZONE PROVISIONS. (a)(1) The Congress finds that a delicate balance of the interests of the bicycle industry and the bicycle component parts industry has been reached through repeated revision of the [Tariff Schedules of the United States] Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States so as to allow duty free import of those categories of bicycle component parts which are not manufactured domestically. The Congress further finds that this balance would be destroyed by exempting otherwise dutiable bicycle component parts from the customs laws of the United States through granting foreign trade zone status to bicycle manufacturing and assembly plants in the United States and that the preservation of such balance is in the public interest and in the interest of the domestic bicycle industry. * SEC. 236.
