Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 265--Conroe, Texas; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; LUC Urethanes, Inc. (Wheels, Rollers and
Friction Pads for Industrial Machinery and Material Conveyance),
Conroe, Texas
The City of Conroe, Texas, grantee of FTZ 265, submitted a
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf
of LUC Urethanes, Inc. (LUC), located in Conroe, Texas. The
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on June 17, 2021.
The LUC facility is located within FTZ 265. The facility is used
for the production of wheels, rollers and friction pads for industrial
machinery and material conveyance. 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 LUC from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status components used in export production. On
its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/components noted
below, LUC would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to wheels, rollers and friction pads for
industrial machinery and material conveyance (duty rate ranges from
duty-free--3.1%). LUC 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 components and materials sourced from abroad include: Various
chain extenders [1, 4 Butanediol; 2-Methylpropyl 3.5-diamino-4-
chlorobenzoate; Trisopropanolamine; 1, 3-Bis(2-hydroxyethoxy) benzene;
4,4 methylene bis (2-chloroaniline); Hydroquinone bis (2-hydroxyethyl)
ether; Trimethylol propane]; various prepolymers [Toluene diisocyanate;
Poly(oxy-1, 4-butanediyl), alpha-hydro-omega-hydroxy-, polymer with 2,
4-diisocyanto-1-methylbenzene; Tolylene-2, 4-disocyante; Hexanedioic
acid, polymer with 2, 4-diisocyanato-1-methylbenzene and 1, 2-
ethanediol, isocyanate-terminated]; various polyols
[[Page 35473]]
[2-oxyepanone, -polymer with 2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3-propanediol;
Poly(caprolactone)diol, Average M.N 2000; Polybutadiene having terminal
hydroxylene group; Diethyl ester carbonic acid polymer with 1, 6-
hexandial; Poly(Ethylene Adipate); Hexanedioic acid polymer with 1,4-
butanediol and 1,2 ethane]; Oxydipropyl dibenzoate; DBE diabasic ester;
Short/chopped nonwoven strengthening aramid fibers; Release Agent-Low
toxicity processing solvent; Lubricants/Vacuum Grease; coloring
pigments with less than 80% titanium dioxide; mixture of coloring
pigments with a carbon black base; mixture of coloring pigments with no
dominant ingredient; steel or aluminum shafts for rollers; and, steel
or aluminum roller bodies (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 6.5%).
The request indicates that certain materials/components are subject
to duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301),
depending on the country of origin. The applicable Section 301
decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
