[Docket T-2-2006]


Foreign-Trade Zone 52 - Suffolk County, New York, Application for 
Temporary/Interim Manufacturing Authority, TKD Industries, Inc. 
(Cosmetic Kitting), Ronkonkoma, New York

    An application has been submitted to the Executive Secretary of the 
Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the Town of Islip (New York), 
operator of foreign-trade zone (FTZ) 52, requesting temporary/interim 
manufacturing (T/IM) authority within FTZ 52, at the facility of TKD 
Industries, Inc. (TKD) located in Ronkonkoma, New York. The application 
was filed on June 20, 2006.
    The TKD facility (85 employees) is located within FTZ 52 at 200 
Trade Zone Drive in Ronkonkoma, New York. Under T/IM procedures, the 
company has requested authority to manufacture cosmetic kits (HTS 
3303.00, 3304.10, 3304.20, 3304.91, and 3305.10; these products enter 
the United States duty free). The company may source the following 
input items from abroad for manufacturing the finished products under 
T/IM authority, as delineated in TKD's application: pre-shave/after-
shave (HTS 3307.10); deodorants/antiperspirants (3307.20); bath 
products (3307.30); plastic boxes (3923.10); plastic bottles (3923.30); 
plastic caps (3923.50); plastic displays (3923.90); dust covers 
(3926.90); glass containers (7010.90); and applicators (9616.20). Duty 
rates on these inputs range from 2.5% to 4.9% ad valorem. T/IM 
authority could be granted for a period of up to two years. TKD has 
also submitted a request for permanent FTZ manufacturing authority (for 
which Board filing is pending), which includes one additional input.
    FTZ procedures would allow TKD to elect the finished-product duty 
rates for the ten imported production inputs listed above. The company 
indicates that it would also realize logistical/paperwork savings and 
duty-deferral savings under FTZ procedures.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at: Office of the 
Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, Room 1115, 1401 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC 
20230.The closing period for their receipt is July 27, 2006.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board's Executive Secretary at 
the address listed above.

    Dated: June 20, 2006.
Andrew McGilvray,
Acting Executive Secretary.
