Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 83–97]

Foreign-Trade Zone 219—Yuma, AZ;

Application for Subzone Status;

Meadowcraft, Inc. (Wrought Iron Patio

Furniture), Yuma County, Arizona

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Yuma County Airport

Authority, Inc., grantee of FTZ 219,

requesting subzone status for the

finishing and distribution (nonmanufacturing) facility of Meadowcraft,

Inc. (Meadowcraft), located in Yuma

County, Arizona. 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 December

16, 1997.

The facility (600,000 sq. ft. on 75

acres; 100 employees) is located at the

intersection of Highway 95 and County

21st Street, Yuma County,

approximately three miles north of the

U.S.-Mexico border. It will be used to

finish and distribute wrought iron patio

furniture, which is imported from

Meadowcraft’s maquiladora facility in

San Luis, Mexico. The finishing

primarily involves priming and painting

the imported furniture. Glass table tops,

some of which are sourced from abroad,

will be added to certain furniture

pieces. No manufacturing or processing

authority is being sought. The Yuma

County facility will be used to distribute

products in the Western U.S. and

abroad.

It appears that the main purpose for

FTZ procedures is to help Meadowcraft

to implement a more cost-effective

system for handling Customs

requirements (including reduced

brokerage fees and Customs

merchandise processing fees). In

addition, Meadowcraft intends to apply

to Customs for direct delivery of

merchandise, which will improve the

company’s efficiency. FTZ status may

also make a site eligible for benefits

provided under state/local programs.

The application indicates that the

savings from zone procedures would

help improve the facility’s international

competitiveness.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ staff

has been appointed examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment is invited from

interested parties. Submissions (original

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the

Board’s Executive Secretary at the

address below. The closing period for

their receipt is March 6, 1998. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to March 23, 1998).

A copy of the application and

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:

Office of the Executive Secretary,

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room

3716, U.S. Department of Commerce,
