Westlake Chemical Corporation
(Westlake) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board for its facilities within Subzone
87F in Sulphur, Louisiana. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on December 16, 2016.
The Westlake facilities are used for
the production of petrochemicals,
including polyethylene and styrene.
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 Westlake from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, Westlake would
be able to choose the duty rates during
customs entry procedures that apply to
low density polyethylene, linear low
density polyethylene and styrene (duty
rates range from free to 6.5%) 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 1-hexene,
benzene, and BHEB-(2,6-Di-t-butyl-4ethyl phenol) (duty rates range from free
to 5.5%).

interested parties. Submissions shall be

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 68—El Paso,
Texas; Notification of Proposed
Production Activity; PGTEX USA, Inc.
(Fiber Glass Fabrics); El Paso, Texas
PGTEX USA, Inc. (PGTEX) submitted
a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its facility
in El Paso, Texas, within FTZ 68. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on December 19, 2016.
The PGTEX facility is located within
Site 3 of FTZ 68. The facility is used for
the production of fiber glass fabrics used
in a variety of applications: Wind
turbine blades, sporting goods, autos,
shipbuilding, building materials and
aerospace. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited
to the specific foreign-status materials
and components and specific finished
product described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
The components and materials
sourced from abroad include yarns
(glass fiber) (HTSUS 7019.19), glass
fibers (HTSUS 7019.90), and polyester
yarn (HTSUS 5402.33) (duty rates range
from 4.3 to 6.5%). The applicant
indicates that these foreign-sourced
materials/components will be admitted
to the FTZ in privileged foreign status
(19 CFR 146.41). This would preclude
inverted tariff benefits on such items on
its domestic sales of fiber glass fabrics.
Production under FTZ procedures could
exempt PGTEX from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
