Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B–17–2016]
Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Max Home, LLC; Subzone
158F (Upholstered Furniture); Iuka and
Fulton, Mississippi
The Greater Mississippi ForeignTrade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 158,
submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board on
behalf of Max Home, LLC (Max Home),
for its facilities in Iuka and Fulton,
Mississippi. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on March 17,
2016.
Max Home previously had authority
to conduct cut-and-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 1744, 76 FR
11425, March 2, 2011). Board Order
1744 authorized the production of
upholstered furniture (chairs, seats,
sofas, sleep sofas, and sectionals) for a
five-year period, with a scope of
authority that only provided FTZ
savings on a limited quantity (2.23
million square yards per year) of foreign
origin, micro-denier suede upholstery

fabric finished with a hot caustic soda
solution process (i.e., authorized
fabrics). All foreign upholstery fabrics
other than micro-denier suede finished
with a hot caustic soda solution process
(i.e., unauthorized fabrics) used in Max
Home’s production within Subzone
158F were subject to full customs
duties.
The current request seeks to renew
Max Home’s previously approved FTZ
authority indefinitely (with no increase
in the company’s annual quantitative
limit of 2.23 million square yards) and
to add foreign-status leather and certain
polyurethane-type fabrics to the scope
of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), additional FTZ authority
would be limited to the specific foreignstatus materials and components and
specific finished products described in
the submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Max Home from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
fabrics used in export production. On its
domestic sales, Max Home would be
able to apply the finished upholstery
cover set (i.e., furniture part) or finished
furniture duty rate (free) for the
previously authorized fabrics and the
additional fabrics (indicated below).
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
Authority to admit foreign-status
fabrics to Subzone 158F would only
involve micro-denier suede upholstery
fabrics finished with a hot caustic soda
solution process (classified within
HTSUS Headings 5407, 5512, 5515,
5516, 5801, and 5903), polyurethane
fabrics backed with ground leather
(5903.20.2500), wet coagulation process
100 percent polyurethane coated fabrics
(5903.20.2500), and upholstery leather
(Heading 4107), as detailed in the
notification (duty rate ranges from free
to 14.9%).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is May
18, 2016.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,
1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ
Board’s Web site, which is accessible
via www.trade.gov/ftz.
