The finished upholstery covering sets would then be assembled into finished chairs, seats, sofas, loveseats, and sectionals manufactured at the SMI facilities in Mississippi. All foreign upholstery fabric other than micro-denier suede fabric used in SMI’s production within FTZ 158 would be admitted to the proposed subzone in domestic (dutypaid) status (19 CFR 146.43), thereby precluding FTZ-related duty savings on such fabrics.
