Proposed Production Activity;
TopShip, LLC (Shipbuilding); Gulfport,
Mississippi
The Mississippi Coast Foreign-Trade
Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 92, submitted
a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of
TopShip, LLC (TopShip), located in
Gulfport, Mississippi. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on August 30,
2016.
The request indicates that a separate
application for subzone designation at
the TopShip facility will be submitted.
A subzone application would be
processed under Section 400.31 of the
Board’s regulations. The TopShip
facility is used for the manufacturing of
ocean-going vessels. 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
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt TopShip from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, TopShip would
be able to choose the duty rates during
customs entry procedures that apply to:
Vessels for the transport of persons and
goods; and, hulls (duty-free) for the
foreign-status inputs noted below.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
The components and materials
sourced from abroad include: Floor
bonding and coating; plastic tubes and
joints for generator sets; plastic flooring;
plastic generator set spare parts; rubber
hoses with fittings; sealing rings;
curtains; oil booms; rock wool; glass
partitions; steel flanges; marine doors;

tariff benefits on such items. The

procedures would be subject to the
‘‘standard shipyard restriction’’
applicable to foreign origin steel mill
products, which requires that TopShip
pay all applicable duties on such items.
