The machinery, honestly: FTZ 125, a Chicago port of entry, and somebody else's port named as somebody else's

2010–2026 · ST. JOSEPH COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY (BOUNDARY)

Printed whole, with the part that is not ours named as not ours. The zone: Foreign-Trade Zone 125, South Bend — grantee, the St. Joseph County Airport Authority; reorganised under the Alternative Site Framework by FTZ Board Order No. 1720 (29 Oct. 2010; Federal Register 8 Nov. 2010), with a service area of St. Joseph, Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall, LaPorte and Starke counties — St. Joseph County, and therefore Osceola and Penn Township, are inside FTZ 125's service area, the one piece of trade machinery in this section that actually covers this ground. Its magnet and usage-driven sites and subzones in the record sit elsewhere in the service area (South Bend; Elkhart — ASA Electronics, Subzone 125D; Goshen — LionsHead Specialty Tire & Wheel production notifications, 2016; REV Recreation Group, Elkhart, 2022) — no FTZ site or subzone seated in Osceola was found, and none is claimed. The customs standing, honestly: FTZ 125 is adjacent to the Chicago Customs and Border Protection port of entry — its port of entry is Chicago, Illinois: somebody else's port, named as somebody else's. South Bend International Airport keeps a U.S. Customs office and ships national and international cargo weekly on the regional accounts, and carries “International” in its name; it is not its own CBP port of entry for the zone, and this article does not promote it into one. Infrastructure the town does not have is printed as not had: Osceola has no airport, no customs post and no FTZ site — it has an address inside a six-county zone whose grantee is its own county's airport authority.
