Foreign-Trade Zone 49—Newark, New
Jersey Area, Application for Subzone
Status, The Swatch Group (U.S.) Inc.
(Watches, Jewelry Products and
Leather Goods), Secaucus, New Jersey
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey, grantee of FTZ 49,
requesting special–purpose subzone
status for the distribution facility of the
Swatch Group (U.S.) Inc. (Swatch),
located in Secaucus, New Jersey. 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 Foreign–
Trade Zones Board (15 CFR part 400). It
was formally filed on August 7, 2009.
The Swatch facility (56,110 sq. ft., 1
acre, 160 employees) is located at 55
Metro Way, Secaucus, New Jersey. It is
used for the receipt, handling,
packaging, and distribution of watches,
jewelry products, and leather watch
cases. All of the products are sourced
from abroad and some 10–15% will be
exported.
FTZ procedures could exempt Swatch
from customs duty payments on the
foreign goods exported from the
proposed subzone. On domestic sales,
the company would be able to defer
duty payments until merchandise is
shipped from the facility and entered for
consumption. Certain logistical/supply
chain management efficiencies would
also be realized through the use of CBP
weekly entry procedures. The
application indicates that the savings
from FTZ procedures would help
improve the facility’s international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Claudia Hausler of the FTZ
