Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B-27-2025]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 102, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Tight Line Composites LLC; (Carbon Fiber Profiles for Wind
Turbine Spar Caps); Earth City, Missouri
Tight Line Composites LLC (Tight Line) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its
facility in Earth City, Missouri, within FTZ 102. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR
400.22) was received on April 21, 2025.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status materials/components and the
specific finished product 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 product is carbon fiber profiles (duty rate
is duty-free).
The proposed foreign-status materials/components include carbon
fiber tow, epoxy resin, and woven nylon 6,6 peel ply fabric (in widths
not exceeding 300mm) (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 6.1%). The
request indicates that certain materials/components may be subject to
duties under section 1702(a)(1)(B) of the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (section 1702) or section 301 of the Trade Act of
1974 (section 301), depending on the country of origin. The applicable
section 1702 and section 301 decisions require subject merchandise to
be admitted to FTZs in privileged foreign (PF) status (19 CFR 146.41).
The request also indicates that Epoxy Resin is subject to an
antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigation if imported from
China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, or Thailand. The Board's regulations
(15 CFR 400.13(c)(2)) require that merchandise subject to AD/CVD
orders, or items which would be otherwise
[[Page 18955]]
subject to suspension of liquidation under AD/CVD procedures if they
entered U.S. customs territory, be admitted to the zone in PF status.
