DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B-59-2021]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 104--Savannah, Georgia, Notification of
Proposed Production Activity, Savannah Yacht Center Inc. (Repair of
Yachts, Sailboats, and Boat Tenders), Savannah, Georgia
Savannah Yacht Center Inc. (SYC) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in
Savannah, Georgia. The notification conforming to the requirements of
the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on August
17, 2021.
The SYC facility is located within Subzone 104J. The facility will
be used for repair and related activities involving yachts, sailboats,
and boat tenders. 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 SYC 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, SYC would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to yachts, sailboats, and boat tenders (duty rate
ranges from 1.0% to 2.4%). SYC 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 may include diesel
marine propulsion engines, components for marine propulsion engines
(engine mounts; seal kits; thermostats; engine controls; electrical
control boxes), and various pumps (lubricating oil; fresh water system)
(duty rate ranges from duty free to 2.5%). 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).
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to:
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c9afbdb389bdbba8adace7aea6bf"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="284e5c52685c5a494c4d064f475e">[email protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is October 4, 2021.
