Summary
Logitech asked to start making audio, visual, and gaming gear at their Ontario, California site inside Foreign-Trade Zone 50, but the government said, "Not yet!" They need to send in a full application to get permission before they can begin production. This means no new manufacturing starts until the paperwork is approved, keeping things on hold for now.
