FTZ Request Filed for Upholstery Fabric

On December 28, 2021, the Foreign Trade-Zone Board published in the Federal Register (86 FR 73730) [B–84–2021] Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 80 -- San Antonio, Texas; Notification of Proposed Production Activity CGT U.S., Ltd. (Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Coated Upholstery Fabric Cover Stock) New Braunfels, Texas.

CGT U.S., Ltd. (CGT) submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in New Braunfels, Texas within Subzone 80E.

The proposed foreign-status material is 100% polyester woven weft pile fabric—dyed (duty rate, 9.8%). The request indicates that the proposed material will be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign (PF) status (19 CFR 146.41), thereby precluding inverted tariff benefits on this item. The request also indicates that the material is subject to duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301), depending on the country of origin. The applicable Section 301 decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in PF status.

Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The closing period for their receipt is February 7, 2022.

This company was approved for a similar fabric in 2019
