[Docket 31-2004]


Foreign-Trade Zone 25--Broward County, FL, Request for Export 
Processing Authority, S.B. Marketing Worldwide, Inc. (Apparel Printing)

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by Broward County, Florida, grantee of FTZ 25, pursuant to 
Sec.  400.32(b)(1)(ii) of the Board's regulations (15 CFR part 400), 
requesting authority on behalf of S.B. Marketing Worldwide, Inc. 
(SBMW), to process foreign-origin apparel products for export under FTZ 
procedures within FTZ 25. It was formally filed on July 30, 2004.
    The proposed SBMW activity (14 employees) within Site 1-Building E, 
Bay 13 would involve silk screen printing of foreign-origin T-shirts 
(including sleeveless tank-style) for export only. The adult and 
children's T-shirts, which are subject to quota category 352 and 
classified under HTSUS 6109.10.0005, would be admitted under privileged 
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) in blank (i.e., plain) condition to be 
screen printed and dried for use as outerwear. The finished printed T-
shirts would then be transferred from the zone for exportation, and 
none of the foreign status T-shirts would be entered for U.S. 
consumption.
    FTZ procedures would exempt SBMW from Customs duty payments on the 
foreign T-shirts (17% rate of duty) processed for re-export. The 
application indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help 
improve SBMW's international competitiveness.
    Public comment on the application is invited from interested 
parties.
