Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-48-2019]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 29--Louisville, Kentucky; Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity; Amcor Flexibles L.L.C. (Flexible 
Packaging), Shelbyville, Kentucky

    Amcor Flexibles L.L.C. (Amcor) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in Shelbyville, 
Kentucky. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on July 29, 
2019.
    Amcor already has authority to produce flexible packaging within 
FTZ 29. The current request would add one finished product and one 
foreign status material/component to the scope of authority. Pursuant 
to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the 
specific foreign-status material/component and specific finished 
product described in the submitted notification (as described below) 
and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Amcor from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status material/component used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status material/
component noted below and in the existing scope of authority, Amcor 
would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures 
that apply to finished die cut lids (duty rate 2.6%). Amcor would be 
able to avoid duty on foreign-status components which become scrap/
waste. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on 
foreign-status production equipment.
    The material/component sourced from abroad is laminated aluminum 
foil (duty rate 3.0%). The request indicates that the material/
component is subject to special duties under Section 232 of the Trade 
Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232). The applicable Section

[[Page 37988]]

232 decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in 
privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to: 
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is September 16, 
2019.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Reading Room'' section of the Board's website, which is 
accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
    For further information, contact Juanita Chen at 
[email protected] or 202-482-1378.

    Dated: July 30, 2019.
Elizabeth Whiteman,
Acting Executive Secretary.
