All foreign upholstery fabrics other than microdenier suede finished with a hot caustic soda solution process (i.e., unauthorized fabrics) used in SMI’s production within Subzone 158G are subject to full customs duties. The current request seeks to add new foreign-status components and certain polyurethane-type fabrics to the scope of authority.
