Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 17–2012]
Foreign-Trade Zone 158—Vicksburg/
Jackson, MS; Application for
Manufacturing Authority; Morgan
Fabrics Corporation (Upholstered
Furniture Covering Sets), Verona, MS
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Greater Mississippi
Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ
158, requesting manufacturing authority
on behalf of Morgan Fabrics Corporation
(MFC), to manufacture upholstered
furniture covering sets under FTZ
procedures within FTZ 158. 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 March 19, 2012.
The MFC facility (33 employees) is
located at 108 Lipford Road within the
Tupelo Lee Industrial Park (Site 17) in
Verona, Lee County, Mississippi. The
application proposes that MFC would
utilize foreign-origin ‘‘micro-denier
suede’’ fabric (up to 3 million square
yards per year) to be cut and sewn into
upholstery covering sets (i.e., furniture
parts) under FTZ procedures. The
finished covering sets (HTSUS 9401.90;
duty free) would be shipped from the
zone to U.S. furniture manufacturing
plants where they would be
incorporated into upholstered furniture.
The proposed scope of authority
under FTZ procedures would only
involve duty savings on foreign origin,
micro-denier suede fabrics (classified
under HTSUS Headings 5407, 5512,
5515, 5516, 5903, 5906, 6001, 6005,
6006; duty rate range: 2.7–17.2%)
finished with a caustic soda wash
process, which the applicant indicates
are not produced by U.S. mills. The
application indicates that MFC does not
seek FTZ benefits on any other foreign
fabrics that the company may use in
production at the facility (i.e., full duties
would be paid on all such fabrics).
On foreign micro-denier suede fabric
used in production for the U.S. market,
the company would be able to choose
the finished upholstery covering set
(i.e., furniture part) duty rate (free) after
the fabric has been cut, sewn, and
formed into covering sets, at which time
they would be entered for consumption
from the zone. The application indicates
that the savings from FTZ procedures
would help improve the facility’s
international competitiveness.

an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of
general-purpose zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ

of Baker, Clay, Columbia, Duval and
Nassau, Florida. The applicant is
requesting authority to expand the
service area of the zone to include
Putnam, St. Johns and Bradford
Counties, as described in the
application. If approved, the grantee
would be able to serve sites throughout
the expanded service area based on
companies’ needs for FTZ designation.
The proposed expanded service area is
within and adjacent to the Jacksonville
Customs and Border Protection port of
entry.

Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to this
review is sodium hexametaphosphate.
Sodium hexametaphosphate is a watersoluble polyphosphate glass that
consists of a distribution of
polyphosphate chain lengths. It is a
collection of sodium polyphosphate
polymers built on repeating NaPO3
units. Sodium hexametaphosphate has a
P2O5 content from 60 to 71 percent.
Alternate names for sodium
hexametaphosphate include the
following: Calgon; Calgon S; Glassy
Sodium Phosphate; Sodium
Polyphosphate, Glassy; Metaphosphoric
Acid; Sodium Salt; Sodium Acid
Metaphosphate; Graham’s Salt; Sodium
Hex; Polyphosphoric Acid, Sodium Salt;
Glass H; Hexaphos; Sodaphos; Vitrafos;
and BAC–N–FOS. Sodium
hexametaphosphate is typically sold as
a white powder or granule (crushed)
and may also be sold in the form of
sheets (glass) or as a liquid solution. It
is imported under heading
2835.39.5000, HTSUS. It may also be
imported as a blend or mixture under
heading 3824.90.3900, HTSUS. The
American Chemical Society, Chemical
Abstract Service (‘‘CAS’’) has assigned
the name ‘‘Polyphosphoric Acid,
Sodium Salt’’ to sodium
hexametaphosphate. The CAS registry
number is 68915–31–1. However,
sodium hexametaphosphate is
commonly identified by CAS No.
10124–56–8 in the market. For purposes
of the review, the narrative description
is dispositive, not the tariff heading,
CAS registry number or CAS name.
The product covered by this review
includes sodium hexametaphosphate in
