Book excerpt: Item 807.00 in the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS) is generally considered to have contributed to the movement offshore of certain labor-intensive assembly operations. To take advantage of this provision, many developing countries have established special legal arrangements (e.g., in-bond industries or export processing zones) that encourage investors to establish operations that assemble products for the U.S. market. The Mexican in-bond assembly or maquiladora program is a case in point. The United States International Trade Commission has noted that item 807.00 imports from Mexico are virtually equivalent to Mexican maquiladora exports to the United States.
