[Docket T-1-2007]


Foreign-Trade Zone 38 - Spartanburg County, SC, Application for 
Temporary/Interim Manufacturing Authority, Kittel Supplier USA, Inc., 
(Automotive Door Trim Components), Duncan, SC

    An application has been submitted to the Executive Secretary of the 
Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the South Carolina State Ports 
Authority, grantee of FTZ 38, requesting temporary/interim 
manufacturing (T/IM) authority within FTZ 38 at the Kittel Supplier 
USA, Inc. (KSU) facility in Duncan, South Carolina. The application was 
filed on March 12, 2007.
    The KSU facility (25 employees) is located at 201 Commerce Court 
within the Highway 290 Commerce Park in Duncan (Site 3). Under T/IM 
procedures, KSU would assemble automotive door trim components (HTSUS 
8708.29) for the U.S. market and export. Foreign components that would 
be used in the assembly activity (up to 100[percnt] of total purchases) 
include: aluminum frames, B pillars, C and D pillars, waist race bolts, 
division bars, fasteners, and rubber seals (duty rates: 2.0, 
2.5[percnt]).
    FTZ procedures would exempt KSU from Customs duty payments on the 
foreign components used in production for export to non-NAFTA 
countries. On domestic shipments transferred in-bond to U.S. automobile 
assembly plants with subzone status, no duties would be paid on the 
foreign components within the door trim components until the finished 
vehicles are subsequently entered for consumption, at which time the 
finished automobile duty rate (2.5[percnt]) could be applied to the 
foreign components. For the finished door trim components withdrawn 
directly by KSU for customs entry, the finished automotive part rate 
(2.5[percnt]) could be applied to the foreign inputs noted above.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive 
Secretary at the following address: Office of the Executive Secretary, 
Room 2814B, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002. For further information, contact Pierre Duy 
at [email protected], or (202) 482-1378. The closing period for 
receipt of comments is April 19, 2007.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board's Executive Secretary at 
address listed above.

    Dated: March 12, 2007.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
