Louisville, Kentucky; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; LLFlex,
LLC (Aluminum and Steel Cable
Wraps), Louisville, Kentucky
LLFlex, LLC (LLFlex) submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its facility
in Louisville, Kentucky. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on May 1, 2019.
LLFlex already has authority to
produce aluminum foil liner stock and
foil backed paperboard within Subzone
29J. The current request would add
finished products and foreign status
materials/components to the scope of
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
materials/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 LLFlex from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
materials/components used in export
production (estimated 20 percent of
production). On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components
noted below and in the existing scope
of authority, LLFlex would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to: Bare
cable wrap; polymer/plastic coated
cable wrap; bare aluminum cable
wrap—width <0.2mm; and, backed
aluminum cable wrap (duty rate ranges
from duty-free to 5.8%). LLFlex would
be able to avoid duty on foreign-status
components which become scrap/waste.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.

The materials/components sourced
from abroad include: Carbon and alloy
flat steel; and, flat rolled aluminum in
coils (duty rate ranges from duty-free to

components are subject to antidumping/
countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders if
imported from certain countries. The
FTZ Board’s regulations (15 CFR
400.14(e)) require that merchandise
subject to AD/CVD orders, or items
which would be otherwise subject to
suspension of liquidation under AD/
CVD procedures if they entered U.S.
customs territory, be admitted to the
zone in privileged foreign status (19
CFR 146.41). The request also indicates
that certain materials/components are
subject to special duties under Section
232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962
(Section 232), depending on the country
of origin. The applicable Section 232
decisions require subject merchandise
to be admitted to FTZs in privileged
foreign status.
