Foreign-Trade Zone 21—Charleston,
SC; Application for Subzone Status;
William Powell Company dba Starflo
Corporation; (Industrial Valves);
Manning, SC
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the South Carolina State
Ports Authority, grantee of FTZ 21,
requesting special-purpose subzone
status for the industrial valve
warehousing and distribution facility of
William Powell Company (Powell) dba
Starflo Corporation, located in Manning,
South Carolina. The application was
submitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR Part
400). It was formally filed on October 8,
2008.
The proposed subzone would include
Powell’s warehousing facility (10
employees, 96,000 sq. ft., 25 acres)
located at 1568 JD Rogers Boulevard in
Manning, South Carolina. The facility is
used for the warehousing, distribution,
and repair of foreign-origin and
domestic industrial valve equipment
(duty rates range from 3 percent to 5.6
percent) for the U.S. market and export.
FTZ procedures would be utilized to
support Powell’s distribution activity
that competes with facilities located
abroad.
FTZ procedures would exempt Powell
from Customs duty payments on foreign
products that are re-exported. Some ten
percent of the facility’s shipments are
exported. On domestic sales, the
company would be able to defer
payment until merchandise is shipped
from the facility and entered for U.S.
consumption. Powell also plans to
realize logistical benefits through the
use of weekly customs entry procedures.
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, Kathleen Boyce of the FTZ
Staff is designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
