The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the Foreign–Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on June 15, 2006. The Medline facility (277,200 sq. ft./ 12.49 acres/30 employees) is located at 18250 Murphy Parkway, Lathrop, California. The facility is used for warehousing and distribution of foreign–origin and domestic medical supplies for the U.S. market and export. FTZ procedures would be utilized to support Medline’s import and domestic distribution activity. Finished medical supplies to be admitted to the proposed subzone for distribution would include: medical gloves of natural rubber, surgical/medical gloves of plastic, apparel items of cotton and man–made fibers (gowns, shirts, overalls, caps, baby shirts, scrubs, covers, socks, pajamas, slippers), woven/non–woven bed linens, towels, pillows, diapers, aprons, canes, walkers, wheelchairs, scooters, grab bars, beds, commodes, wooden bedroom furniture, folios, leather and man–made fiber travel bags, thermometers, vacuum pumps, watch VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:26 Jun 20, 2006 Jkt 208001 cases, and toiletry items. The application states that all quota–class textile and apparel products classified under Textile Import Quota categories would be admitted to the proposed subzone under domestic (duty–paid) status (19 CFR § 146.43), and any products subject to antidumping duties would be admitted under domestic (duty–paid) or privileged foreign status (19 CFR § 146.41). FTZ procedures would exempt Medline from Customs duty payments on foreign products that are re– exported. On domestic sales, the company would be able to defer payments until merchandise is shipped from the facility and entered for U.S. consumption. Medline also plans to utilize certain logistical benefits that will help facilitate the distribution of domestic and foreign merchandise in a consolidated manner. The application indicates that all of the above–cited savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility’s international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board.
