Two Upholstered Furniture FTZ Applications Filed

Two upholstered furniture manufacturers are seeking to use Foreign Trade Zone procedures to save money on import duties. For an initial free consultation on how FTZ procedures may benefit your company, contact David Trumbull at david@agathonassociates.com.

On June 30, 2016, the Foreign Trade Zone Board published in the Federal Register (81 FR 42649) Foreign-Trade Zone 158--Tupelo, Mississippi; Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Southern Motion, Inc.; Subzone 158G (Upholstered Furniture); Pontotoc and Baldwyn, Mississippi.

The Greater Mississippi Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 158, submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Southern Motion, Inc. (SMI), for its facilities in Pontotoc and Baldwyn, Mississippi. The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on June 17, 2016.

SMI currently has authority to conduct cut-and-sew activity using certain foreign micro-denier suede upholstery fabrics to produce upholstered furniture and related parts (upholstery cover sets) on a restricted basis (see B-45-2014, 79 FR 64167, October 28, 2014). SMI's authority allows for the production of upholstered furniture (chairs, seats, sofas, sleep sofas, and sectionals) for a five-year period, with a scope of authority that only provided FTZ savings on a limited quantity (6.0 million square yards per year) of foreign origin, micro-denier suede upholstery fabric finished with a hot caustic soda solution process (i.e., authorized fabrics). All foreign upholstery fabrics other than micro-denier suede finished with a hot caustic soda solution process (i.e., unauthorized fabrics) used in SMI's production within Subzone 158G are subject to full customs duties.

The current request seeks to add new foreign-status components and certain polyurethane-type fabrics to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and 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 SMI from customs duty payments on the foreign-status fabrics and components used in export production. On its domestic sales, SMI would be able to apply the finished upholstery cover set (i.e., furniture part) or finished furniture duty rate (free) for the previously authorized fabrics and the additional fabrics and components (indicated below). Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.

The components sourced from abroad include: Linear actuators and motors; transformers; power adaptors; handset controllers; power cables; and, Y-cables (duty rate ranges from 1.6% to 2.8%). The expanded scope of authority to admit foreign-status fabrics to Subzone 158G would only involve polyurethane fabrics backed with ground leather (5903.20.2500) and wet coagulation process 100 percent polyurethane coated fabrics (5903.20.2500), as detailed in the notification (duty rate: 7.5%). All other foreign, unauthorized upholstery fabrics used in the production activity would continue to be admitted to the zone in domestic (duty paid) status.

On June 30, 2016, the Foreign Trade Zone Board published in the Federal Register (81 FR 42648) Foreign-Trade Zone 158-Tupelo, Mississippi; Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Bauhaus Furniture Group, LLC; H.M. Richards Company, Inc.; Lane Home Furniture; Morgan Fabrics Corporation (Upholstered Furniture)

The Greater Mississippi Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 158, submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Bauhaus Furniture Group, LLC (Bauhaus), H.M. Richards Company, Inc. (HMRI), Lane Home Furniture (Lane), and Morgan Fabrics Corporation (Morgan) within FTZ 158 in the greater Tupelo, Mississippi, area. The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on June 17, 2016.

Bauhaus, HMRI, Lane, and Morgan currently have authority to conduct cut-and-sew activity using certain foreign micro-denier suede upholstery fabrics to produce upholstered furniture and related parts (upholstery cover sets) on a restricted basis (see B-29-2013, B-21-2013, B-28-2013, 78 FR 49254-49255, August 13, 2013; and, Board Order 1877, 78 FR 5773, January 28, 2013). The companies' authority allows for the production of upholstered furniture (chairs, seats, sofas, sleep sofas, and sectionals) with scopes of authority that only provide FTZ savings on a limited quantity of foreign origin, micro-denier suede upholstery fabric finished with a hot caustic soda solution process (i.e., authorized fabrics). All foreign upholstery fabrics other than micro-denier suede finished with a hot caustic soda solution process (i.e., unauthorized fabrics) used in Bauhaus, HMRI, Lane, and Morgan's production within FTZ 158 are subject to full customs duties.

The current request seeks to add certain polyurethane-type fabrics to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and 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 Bauhaus, HMRI, Lane, and Morgan from customs duty payments on the foreign-status fabrics used in export production. On domestic sales, Bauhaus, HMRI, Lane, and Morgan would be able to apply the finished upholstery cover set (i.e., furniture part) or finished furniture duty rate (free) for the previously authorized fabrics and the additional fabrics (indicated below). Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.

The expanded scope of authority to admit foreign-status fabrics to FTZ 158 in nonprivileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.42) would only involve polyurethane fabrics backed with ground leather (5903.20.2500) and wet coagulation process 100 percent polyurethane coated fabrics (5903.20.2500), as detailed in the notification (duty rate: 7.5%). All other foreign, unauthorized upholstery fabrics used in the companies' production activity would continue to be admitted to the zone in domestic (duty paid) status.

LVMH-owned Loro Piana is retracing the steps of its cashmere from Beijing to Paris with a 37-day automotive race.

Multiple prize winning Italian rally champions, Giorgio Schön and Pierre Tonetti, will put all of their driving experience to test at the sixth edition of the Bejing-Paris automobile race. On board a 1971 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super, this historic car challenge retraces the Loro Piana cashmere route. The duo will have an unusual travel companion: a small saddle bag containing tufts of the 2015 harvest that will be awarded with “The Loro Piana Cashmere of the Year 2016” prize.

Covering over 14,000 km of rugged terrain, the Loro Piana team, equipped with cashmere Storm System® Roadster Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® and the iconic Roadster Villa D’Este jackets, will complete this riveting, action packed course in 37 days. They will venture beyond the Great Wall of China through the Gobi Desert and the wilderness of Mongolia, then cross the Siberian steppe, leaving the Ural Mountains behind them. The route will continue through Russia, passing north of Moscow, Belarus, and finally through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, eventually ending in France.

The route has a strong symbolic significance for Loro Piana, as it traces the same journey of our cashmere, from its place of origin in China and Mongolia, then across several continents, before it finally arrives in Europe, where the cashmere is transformed into yarns, fabrics, and an array of finished products of indisputable excellence, beauty, and luxury. Kilometer after kilometer the course showcases the culture, history, and experience of our products.

They are intended as specifications to be followed by the mill in sourcing yarn used to produce fabric. Dyeing, finishing, and knitting can alter the characteristic of the yarn as it appears in the finished fabric. This specification therefore includes yarns appearing in the finished fabric as finer or coarser than the designated yarn sizes provided that the variation occurs after processing of the greige yarn and production of the fabric. The specifications for the yarn apply to the yarn itself prior to cutting, sewing and finishing of a finished garment. Such processing may alter the measurements.

The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA) finds that it does not have sufficient information on the record of the above noted proceeding to make its determination on the commercial availability of the subject yarn. As a result, CITA hereby extends its deadline to publish a determination by 14 U.S. business days, or August 3, 2016.

T-TIP is Dead

With the UK vote to leave the EU, T-TIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is dead. The US may someday have free trade with Europe, but not, at least not directly, as a result of the project launched in the spring of 2013.

President Obama’s threat that the UK would step to the “back of the queue” if it leaves the EU fails to take into account that the UK leaving the EU means that the EU must also step to the back of the queue. With calls in other EU members for similar referenda, the US can’t be sure who the EU is, and until this settles down, you can't negotiate with an unknown entity. Further, the negotiations to date included the UK, which means that concessions were made, on both sides, to address UK-specific issues. Now those issues don’t matter, and that means the whole, or nearly the whole, negotiation must start over from scratch. Three to five years from now, when T-TIP can be restarted, so much time shall have passed that stakeholder input will need to be re-solicited, as new trade patterns will have developed around TPP (assuming it passes), other trade deals, and the general tendency of business to evolve. T-TIP is dead. The US and EU may do a free trade agreement in the future. They may even call it T-TIP. But it won’t be the conclusion of the current T-TIP; it will be a de novo negotiation, which will benefit from the current T-TIP only as an imperfect and out-of-date road map.

That's my opinion. --David Trumbull

Claremont Flock Uses Foreign Trade Zone to Keep Manufacturing Jobs in the U.S.A.

David Trumbull, the licensed customs broker the Shahs hired to assist them with the application process, said the import tax on raw materials coming into the U.S. has created an incentive for companies to manufacture abroad.

"What Claremont Flock is doing is keeping jobs in the U.S. and, in doing so, are having to pay a 7.5 percent duty on imports, whereas someone else can bring in that same thing as a finished product with no rate of duty," said Trumbull.

Proposed Chile FTA Exception from Yarn Forward Rule for Certain Filament Rayon

The United States International Trade Commission ("USITC") is seeking input on a new investigation concerning proposed modifications to the United States-Chile Free Trade Agreement ("FTA") rules of origin.

The investigation, Probable Economic Effect of Certain Modifications to the U.S.-Chile FTA Rules of Origin, was requested by the U.S. Trade Representative ("USTR") in a letter received on May 24, 2016. The letter included an attachment detailing the articles affected by the proposed modifications. The request covers woven fabric of artificial filament yarns.

As requested by the USTR, the USITC, an independent, nonpartisan, factfinding federal agency, will provide advice on the probable economic effect of the proposed U.S.-Chile FTA rules of origin modifications on U.S. trade under the Agreement, total U.S. trade, and on domestic producers of the affected articles.

The USITC expects to submit its advice to the USTR by August 24, 2016. A public version of the report, with all confidential business information deleted, will be released as soon as possible thereafter.

The USITC is seeking input for its new investigation from all interested parties and requests that the information focus on the articles for which the USITC is requested to provide information and advice. The USITC will not hold a public hearing in connection with the investigation; however, the USITC welcomes written submissions for the record. Written submissions should be addressed to the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436 and should be submitted at the earliest practical date but no later than 5:15 p.m. on July 11, 2016.

The change would allow non-originating rayon yarn (subheadings 5403.10, 5403.31, 5403.32, and 5403.41 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States ("HTSUS") in the production of woven fabric containing 85 percent or more by weight of artificial filament in the case of fabric that is dyed (5408.22 HTSUS) or is of yarns of different colors (5408.23 HTSUS).

Clients of Agathon Associates and subscribers to Agathon Associates' Trade Advisor Service can learn more abut the U.S.-Chile FTA at www.agathonassociates.com/textile-pri/chile/fta.htm. You will need to enter your username and password. If you do not know your username and password email David Trumbull at david@agathonassociates.com.
