It was formally filed on April 23, 2008. The DSC shipyard (250 employees, 23 acres, capacity: up to 3 vessels/year) is located at 837 Seaview Avenue within the Bridgeport Regional Maritime Complex (FTZ Site 4 - Parcel B). Under FTZ procedures, DSC would construct and repair cruise ships, excursion boats, ferries, luxury motor and sail yachts, and motorboats (HTSUS 8901.10, VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:17 May 01, 2008 Jkt 214001 8903.91, 8903.92) for domestic and international customers. Foreign components that would be used at the shipyard (up to 40% of finished vessel value) include: propellers and shafts, steering systems, lighting equipment, anchors, rigging equipment, mooring lines (will be admitted in domestic (duty paid) status), cleats, ovens and ranges, interior fittings and furnishings, decorative film/applications, masts and spars, seats, elastomeric polyurethanes, insulation, cranes, winches, pulleys, swim platforms, stairs, bilge pumps, aluminum tiles/planks/extrusions/ sheets, engines, propulsion systems, stern drives, flange couplings, clutches, shafts, anti–fouling systems, marine doors and windows, command levers, hull isolation mounts, cutlery, bed linens (will be admitted in domestic (duty–paid) status), and valves (thermostatic, hydraulic) (duty rate range: free 6.5%, 2.2¢/kg+5%).

FTZ procedures would exempt DSC from customs duty payments on the foreign components (except steel mill products) used in export activity.

Duties could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment admitted by DSC to the zone. The manufacturing and repair activity conducted under FTZ procedures would be subject to the ‘‘standard shipyard restriction’’ applicable to foreign–origin steel mill products (e.g., angles, pipe, plate), which requires that all applicable customs duties be paid on such items.

    FTZ procedures would exempt DSC from customs duty payments on the 
foreign components (except steel mill products) used in export 
activity. On its domestic sales, the company could be able to choose 
the duty rate that applies to finished oceangoing vessels (duty free, 
1.5%) for the foreign-origin components noted above. Duties could

duties be paid on such items. The application indicates that the 
savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility's 
international competitiveness.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Pierre Duy of the FTZ

to the Board.
