[Docket 26–2000]

Foreign-Trade Zone 93—Raleigh/

Durham, NC; Application for Subzone

Status, Pergo, Inc., Plant (Laminate—

Particle Board Flooring); Garner, North

Carolina

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Triangle J Council of

Governments, grantee of FTZ 93,

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the laminate-particle board

flooring manufacturing plant of Pergo,

Inc. (a subsidiary of Perstorp AB, of

Sweden), located in Garner, North

Carolina. The application was submitted

pursuant to the provisions of the

Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended

(19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations

of the Board (15 CFR Part 400). It was

formally filed on June 5, 2000.

The Pergo plant (102 acres/130,000

sq. ft.) is located within the Greenfield

Industrial Park at 2000 Perstorp

Parkway, Garner (Wake County), North

Carolina, some 20 miles southeast of

Raleigh. The facility (275 employees) is

used to produce laminate-particle board

flooring (HTSUS# 4410.19.0020), and to

distribute foreign-made laminate

flooring products with a particle board,

paperboard, plastic, or other inorganic

core for export and the U.S. market. The

production process involves combining

decorative plastic laminate and backing

paper to particle board, which is then

milled into tiles or planks. The

completed flooring is then combined

with moldings, glue and installation

accessories to be shipped as a

completed flooring system. The

application indicates that additional

laminate floor covering products may be

produced with tileboard, paperboard,

and/or polyurethane sheet in the future.

Foreign-origin components used in

manufacturing (currently 100%)

include: sealants/adhesives/glue,

fiberboard, particle board, decorative

plastic laminate; and, backing paper and

laminate. Additional foreign-sourced

materials and components to be

distributed with the completed laminate

flooring include: Glues/sealants/

caulking, installation kits, hand tools,

cleaning kits; and, molding and trim of

plastic, fiberboard and aluminum (duty

rate range: free—6.0%).

FTZ procedures would exempt Pergo

from Customs duty payments on the

foreign materials and components used

in export production. On its domestic

sales of the manufactured flooring, the

company would be able to choose the

duty rate that applies to finished

laminate-particle board flooring (duty

free as particle board under

4410.19.0020) for the decorative plastic

laminate raw material noted above.

Pergo would be able to defer Customs

duty payments on the foreign-origin

finished flooring products and related

materials that would be admitted to the

proposed subzone for U.S. distribution.

The application indicates that subzone

status would help improve the plant’s

international competitiveness.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment on the application is

invited from interested parties.

Submissions (original and three copies)

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

below. The closing period for their

receipt is August 14, 2000. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to August 28, 2000).

A copy of the application and the

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:
