[B-14-2018]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 158--Vicksburg/Jackson, Mississippi, 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity, International Converter, 
(Insulation Facer), Iuka, Mississippi

    International Converter (IC) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in Iuka, 
Mississippi. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on February 
23, 2018.
    The applicant indicates that it will be submitting a separate 
application for FTZ designation at the IC facility under FTZ 158. The 
facility is used for the production of insulation facer using a wet-
bond or dry-bond lamination process. 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 IC from customs duty 
payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export 
production. For foreign-status components subject to antidumping/
countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigations/orders, the applicant only 
requests authority to use such components in the company's export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below not subject to AD/CVD orders/investigations, IC 
would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures 
that apply to: Printed duplex insulation facer consisting of paper 
backed with aluminum foil; not printed duplex insulation facer 
consisting of paper backed with aluminum foil; printed triplex 
insulation facer, consisting of paper with aluminum foil on either 
side; not printed triplex insulation facer, consisting of paper with 
aluminum foil on either side; printed quadlaminate insulation facer, 
consisting of paper with aluminum foil on either side, and fabric scrim 
on one outer layer; and, not printed quadlaminate insulation facer, 
consisting of paper with aluminum foil on either side, and fabric scrim 
on one outer layer (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 3.7%). IC has 
indicated that all scrap/waste from the lamination process would be 
exported. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on 
foreign-status production equipment.
    The materials/components sourced from abroad include: Aluminum foil 
in rolls, 0.00025 inches thick; aluminum foil in rolls, 0.00027 inches 
thick; aluminum foil in rolls, 0.000285 inches thick; and, nonwoven 
polyethylene terephthalate scrim fabric, in rolls, 33.84 grams per 
square meter (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 5.8%). The request 
indicates that the aluminum foil is subject to AD and CVD 
investigations if imported from a certain country. The FTZ Board's 
regulations (15 CFR 400.14(e)) require that merchandise subject to AD/
CVD orders, or items which would be otherwise subject to suspension of 
liquidation under AD/CVD procedures if they entered U.S. customs 
territory, be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 
146.41). As noted above, the request indicates that any aluminum foil 
subject to an AD/CVD investigation/order would be used only in 
production for export.
