Foreign-Trade Zone 57—Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina; Application for
Production Authority; Gildan Yarns,
LLC (Cotton and Cotton/Polyester
Yarns); Salisbury, North Carolina
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Charlotte Regional Partnership, Inc.,
grantee of FTZ 57, requesting exportonly production authority on behalf of
Gildan Yarns, LLC (Gildan), located in
Salisbury, North Carolina. The
application conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.23) was
docketed on June 16, 2017.
The Gildan facility (400 employees,
104 acres) is located within Site 19 of
FTZ 57. The facility is used to produce
spun cotton and cotton/polyester yarns
for export. Production under FTZ
procedures could exempt Gildan from
customs duty payments on the foreign
component used in export production.
The sole foreign-origin material
(representing 10% of the value of the
finished product) to be used in the
export production is polyester staple
fiber (duty rate 4.3%). Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment. The request indicates that
the savings from FTZ procedures would
help improve the plant’s international
competitiveness.

Department’s Additional Preliminary
Scope Decision Memorandum.6 The
Department is preliminarily modifying
the scope language as it appeared in the
Initiation Notice. See the revised scope
in Appendix I to this notice.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
investigation in accordance with section
731 of the Act. The Department
calculated export prices in accordance
with section 772(a) of the Act. Because
the PRC is a non-market economy,
within the meaning of section 771(18) of
the Act, the Department calculated
normal value (NV) in accordance with
section 773(c) of the Act. In addition,
pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of
the Act, the Department preliminarily
relied upon facts otherwise available,
with adverse inferences, for Shandong
Dongfang Bayley Wood Co., Ltd.
(Bayley), certain separate rate
applicants, and the PRC-wide entity. As
the Department preliminarily
determined that Bayley is not entitled to
a separate rate, the company is included
within the PRC-wide entity. For a full
description of the methodology
underlying the Department’s
preliminary determination, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Affirmative Determination
of Critical Circumstances, in Part
In accordance with section 733(e) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, the
Department preliminarily determines
that critical circumstances exist with
respect to imports of hardwood
plywood from the PRC for certain
separate rate respondents and the PRCwide entity (of which Bayley and
certain separate rate respondents are a
part), but do not exist for Linyi Chengen
Import and Export Co., Ltd. and certain
separate rate respondents. For a full
description of the methodology and
results of the Department’s critical
circumstances analysis, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
6 See Memorandum, ‘‘Certain Hardwood Plywood
Products from the People’s Republic of China:
Scope Comments Decision Memorandum for the
Preliminary Determinations’’ (Preliminary Scope
Decision Memorandum), dated April 17, 2017, and
hereby adopted by, this preliminary determination;

Products from the People’s Republic of China:

preliminary determination.
