Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 281—Miami,

Production Activity; South Florida
Lumber Company; (Steel Frames);
Medley, Florida
Miami-Dade County, grantee of FTZ

Lumber Company (South Florida
Lumber), located in Medley, Florida.

requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was

construction. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity 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 South Florida Lumber
from customs duty payments on the
foreign-status materials/components
used in export production (estimated
sixty percent of production). On its
domestic sales, for the foreign-status
materials/components noted below,
South Florida Lumber would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to angles,
shapes and sections of iron and
nonalloy steel, metal studs, and steel
frames (duty-free). South Florida
Lumber 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 steel in primary
form and flat rolled products of iron or
nonalloy steel (duty-free). The request
indicates that steel is subject to an
antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/
CVD) order 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 steel is
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.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
November 4, 2019.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s
website, which is accessible via
