Foreign-Trade Zone 49—Newark, NJ
Area; Application for Subzone; LVMH
Watch & Jewelry U.S.A., Inc. (Watches,
Jewelry Products and Leather Goods);
Springfield, NJ
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
LVMH Watch & Jewelry U.S.A., Inc.
(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. On domestic
shipments, the company would be able
to defer duty payments until the foreign
merchandise is shipped from the facility
and entered for U.S. consumption.
Subzone status would further allow
LVMH to realize logistical benefits
through the use of weekly customs 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, Pierre Duy of the FTZ Staff
is designated examiner to evaluate and
analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations to the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
following address: Office of the
Executive Secretary, Room 2111, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 1401

Foreign-Trade Zone 124—Gramercy,
LA; Application for Subzone;
Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.
(Barite Milling); Larose, LA
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Port of South Louisiana,
grantee of FTZ 124, requesting specialpurpose subzone status for the barite
manufacturing facility of Halliburton
Energy Services, Inc. (Halliburton),
located in Larose, Louisiana. 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 18, 2011.
The Halliburton facility (13
employees, 12.2 acres, producing up to
540,000 tons of ground barite per year)
is located at 1699 Highway 24, Larose,
LA. The facility is used for the milling
(heating grinding, crushing) of raw
barite. The only component sourced
from abroad (representing 75% of the
value of the finished product) is raw
barite (duty rate of $1.25 per metric ton).
FTZ procedures could exempt
Halliburton from customs duty
payments on the foreign components
used in export production. The
company anticipates that less than one
percent of the plant’s shipments will be
exported. On its domestic sales,
Halliburton would be able to choose the
duty rate during customs entry
procedures that applies to the finished
product (duty-free) for the foreign input
noted above. FTZ designation would

further allow Halliburton to realize
logistical benefits through the use of
weekly customs entry procedures.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign status
production equipment. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
plant’s international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Christopher Kemp of the
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to
evaluate and analyze the facts and
information presented in the application
and case record and to report findings
and recommendations to the Board.

interested parties. Submissions (original

Board’s Executive Secretary at the

their receipt is March 28, 2011. Rebuttal
