Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 21--Dorchester County, South Carolina; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; AGFA Materials 
Corporation (Photographic Film Cutting); Goose Creek, South Carolina

    The South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee of FTZ 21, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board on behalf of AGFA Materials Corporation (AGFA), located in Goose 
Creek, South Carolina. The notification conforming to the requirements 
of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 
17, 2013.
    The AGFA facility is located within Site 16 of FTZ 21. The facility 
is used for the cutting of photographic film to specific sizes or 
master rolls for medical images, aerial photography, and non-
destructive testing. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would 
be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and components and 
specific finished products listed in the submitted notification (as 
described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt AGFA from customs duty 
payments on the foreign status film used in export production. On its 
domestic sales, AGFA would be able to choose the duty rates during 
customs entry procedures that apply to its finished cut film (3.7%) and 
associated scrap and waste (free) for the foreign-status film (3.7%). 
Customs duties also could

possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.

shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address
