Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 26, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Mohawk Carpet Distribution, LLC; (Machine-Made Woven and
Tufted Rugs of Polypropylene); Calhoun and Sugar Valley, Georgia
Georgia Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 26, submitted a
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board (the
Board) on behalf of Mohawk Carpet Distribution, LLC (Mohawk), located
in Calhoun and Sugar Valley, Georgia, within FTZ 26. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR
400.22) was received on November 28, 2023.
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 machine-made rugs of
polypropylene (woven with pile, woven without pile, and tufted) (duty
rate ranges from duty-free to 6%).
The proposed foreign-status material/component is continuous
filament polypropylene (CFPP) yarn (single-ply and multi-ply (twisted
or cabled)) (duty rate is 8.8% and 8%, respectively). The request
indicates that the material/component is 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). As requested, FTZ authority would be subject to the following
restrictions: (1) the annual volume of CFPP yarn that Mohawk may admit
into the proposed subzone under NPF status be limited to 2.9 million
kilograms, and (2) any approval be limited to five years.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
