The Greater Mississippi ForeignTrade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 158,

conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on February 28,
2013.
The Lane facilities are located within
Sites 14, 16, and 17 of FTZ 158 and
currently have authority to conduct cutand-sew activity using certain foreign
micro-denier suede upholstery fabrics to
produce upholstered furniture and
related parts (upholstery cover sets) on
a restricted basis (see, Board Order
1598, 74 FR 263, 1–5–2009). Board
Order 1598 authorized the production of
upholstered furniture (sofa, chairs, and
recliners) for a five-year period, with a
scope of authority that only provides
FTZ savings on a limited quantity (6.5
million square yards/year) of foreign
origin, micro-denier suede upholstery
fabric finished with a hot caustic soda
solution process. All foreign upholstery
fabric other than micro-denier suede
fabric used in Lane’s production within
FTZ 158 is subject to full customs
duties.
The current request seeks to extend
the company’s current FTZ authority
indefinitely. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited
to the specific foreign-status materials
and components and specific finished
products described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and

Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Lane from customs duty
payments on the foreign micro-denier
suede upholstery fabric used in export
production. On its domestic sales, Lane
would be able to apply the finished
upholstery cover set (i.e., furniture part)

the micro-denier suede fabric listed
below. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign status production equipment.
