[Docket T-5-2007]


Foreign-Trade Zone 38 - Spartanburg County, SC, Application for 
Temporary/Interim Manufacturing Authority, Kittel Supplier USA, Inc., 
(Automotive Roof/Luggage Racks), 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 October 26, 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 roof/luggage racks (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 rails and support legs (8708.29), plastic support 
legs (8708.99), brackets (8708.29), fasteners (7318.15, 7318.19, 
7318.29) and rubber seals (4016.93) (duty rates: free - 5.7[percnt]).
    FTZ procedures could exempt KSU from Customs duty payments on the 
foreign components used in production for export. 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 
roof/luggage racks 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finished roof/luggage racks withdrawn directly by KSU for customs 
entry, the finished automotive part rate (2.5[percnt]) could be applied 
to the foreign inputs noted above.
