(LVMH), located in Springfield, 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 Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on January 14, 2011. The LVMH facility (119 employees/ 1.37 acres/59,884 sq.ft.) is located at 966 South Springfield Avenue in Springfield (Union County), New Jersey. The facility is used for the receipt, handling, packaging, and distribution of watches, jewelry products, leather goods (apparel, hand bags, wallets, cases), accessories, and luggage. All of the products are sourced from abroad and about 10 percent of the facility’s shipments will be exported. FTZ procedures could exempt LVMH from customs duty payments on the foreign goods exported from the proposed subzone.
