Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1572]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Kravet, Inc.

(Textile Distribution and Sampling) Anderson, SC

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for ``* * *the 
establishment* * * of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the 
United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for 
other purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant 
to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) provide for the 
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities 
cannot serve the specific use involved, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 38, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a special-purpose subzone at the textile distribution and 
sampling facility of Kravet, Inc., located in Anderson, South Carolina 
(FTZ Docket 10-2007, filed 3-6-07);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 13081, 3/20/2007); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations would be satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest if subject to the 
restrictions and limitations listed below;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to the distribution and sampling of 
textiles at the facility of Kravet, Inc., located in Anderson, South 
Carolina (Subzone 38G), as described in the application and Federal 
Register notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including section 400.28, and further subject to the following 
restrictions and limitations:
    1. Privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) shall be elected on 
all foreign status merchandise;
    2. No activity under FTZ procedures shall be permitted that would 
result in a shift in HTSUS classification.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 10th day of September 2008.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
ATTEST:

Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
