International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)/Motor Carrier

 Highlights
> The U. S. Customs Service granted Class 9 Customs Bonded Warehouse status effective September 5, 2000 to the Ammex, Inc. facility adjacent to the Ambassador Bridge at 3400 W. Lafayette, Detroit, Michigan (" Ammex Facility"). Therefore, effective September 5, 2000 Michigan taxes are not included in sales of gasoline and diesel fuel to IFTA carriers from the Ammex Facility.

Consequently, IFTA carriers may not take credit for Michigan taxes for their purchases of gasoline and diesel fuel at the Ammex Facility.
