Another FT Granted with no Inverted Tariff Relief for Textiles

On March 28, 2022, the Foreign Trade Zone Board published in the Federal Register (87 FR 17269) Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 138 -- Columbus, Ohio; Authorization of Limited Production Activity; Fluvitex USA, Inc.; (Quilts, Comforters and Cushions); Groveport, Ohio

The FTZ Board authorized the production activity described in the notification on a limited basis, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board’s regulations, including Section 400.14, and further subject to a restriction requiring all foreign-status materials be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) with the exception of foreign-status polybags.

In other words, no inverted tariff relief for textile components in articles entering U.S. commerce.
