[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 191 (Wednesday, October 4, 2017)] [Notices] [Pages 46216-46217] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-21337] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Foreign-Trade Zones Board [B-62-2017] Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 127--West Columbia, South Carolina; Notification of Proposed Production Activity; BGM America, Inc.; Subzone 127C; (Sailboats, Cabin Cruiser Powerboats, Outboard Motor Boats); Marion, South Carolina The Richland-Lexington Airport District, grantee of FTZ 127, submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of BGM America, Inc. (BGM), located in Marion, South Carolina. The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on September 27, 2017. The BGM facility is located within Subzone 127C. The facility is used for the production of sailboats, cabin cruiser powerboats, and outboard motor boats. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials/components and specific finished products described in the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt BGM from customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export production (estimated 5-20 percent of production). On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/components noted below, BGM would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to sailboats, cabin cruiser powerboats with inboard engines, and outboard motorboats (duty rates range from 1%-1.5%). BGM would be able to avoid duty on foreign-status components which become scrap/ waste. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment. The materials/components sourced from abroad include: Primers; adhesive acrylic; surface cleaning kits; liquid adhesives; spray adhesives; polyvinyl chloride profiles; plastic pipes and fittings; plastic flexible hoses; plastic tubes; plastic hoses; plastic pipes; plastic elbow fittings; wall and ceiling non-skid molding kits with adhesive backing; pavement marking tape; decal tape rolls; velcro; acrylic vessel covers;

The applicant also indicates that the following foreign-sourced materials/components will be admitted to the subzone in privileged foreign status, thereby precluding inverted tariff benefits on such items (where applicable): Plastic and woven fabric blinds; woven nylon strips; rubber thread and cord bungee cords; synthetic fiber braided cord cut to length; cotton netting; twine, cordage and rope safety ladders; twine and cordage rope; nylon woven ribbons; marine vinyl composed of polyvinyl chloride, polyester and cotton (coated with over 70 percent polyvinyl chloride); rubberized textile adhesive tape; textile felt seals & gaskets; synthetic fiber curtains; synthetic fiber textile blinds; synthetic fiber table covers; synthetic fiber textile wheel covers; sails of synthetic fibers; cotton dust cloths; polyester web fabric straps; nonwoven fiberglass mats; woven fiberglass with fibers; fiberglass in bulk; mattresses; and, cotton seat cushions and pillows.
