Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 74--Baltimore, Maryland, Notification of
Proposed Production Activity, United Safety Technology Corp. (Medical
and Non-medical Disposable Gloves), Sparrows Point, Maryland
United Safety Technology Corp submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in
Sparrows Point, Maryland, within Subzone 74D. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR
400.22) was received on December 8, 2022.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status material(s)/component(s) and
specific finished product(s) described in the submitted notification
(summarized below) and subsequently authorized by the Board. The
benefits that may stem from conducting production activity under FTZ
procedures are explained in the background section of the Board's
website--accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>.
The proposed finished products include seamless gloves, surgical
gloves and examination gloves (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 3%).
The proposed foreign-status materials and components include:
Nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR): Latex; Potassium hydroxide; Calcium
Nitrate; Nitric Acid; Zinc Oxide; Chlorine; Sodium Hypochlorite;
Hydrochloric Acid; Caustic Soda; Polydimethylsiloxane emulsion;
Paraffin Wax; Sulphur Dispersion; Zinc dibuthyl dithiocarbamate (ZDBC)

paste, viscous--carbazole violet; Sodium Thiosulphate Pentahydrate;

ranges from duty-free to 6.5%). The request indicates that carbazole
violet pigment 23 is subject to antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/
CVD) orders if imported from certain countries. The 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 (PF) (19 CFR 146.41).
The request also 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 PF
status.
