Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 265--Conroe, Texas; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; Galdisa USA (Peanut Products); 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 Galdisa USA (Galdisa), 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 30, 2021.
The Galdisa facility is located within FTZ 265. The facility is
used for the production of peanut products. Galdisa is requesting
export-only FTZ authority to produce peanut butter, roasted peanuts,
peanut granules, peanut paste, and blanched peanuts. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status
materials 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 Galdisa from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status components used in the company's
export production of peanut products. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
If the proposal were approved, the foreign-status sugar and peanuts
used in the FTZ production for export would not be subject to quota(s).
[[Page 37117]]
The components and materials sourced from abroad include: Raw
peanuts in shell; beet sugar; cane sugar; sugar (not raw); salt; crude
peanut oil; non-crude peanut oil; raw peanuts shelled; and, blanched
peanuts (duty rate ranges from free to 163.8% (ex-quota rate)). 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).
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to:
