[Docket A(32b1)–20–95]

Foreign-Trade Zone 21—Charleston,

SC Request for Manufacturing

Authority Hubner Manufacturing

Corporation (Industrial Bellows/Molded

Parts)

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the South Carolina State Ports

Authority, grantee of FTZ 21, pursuant

to § 400.32(b)(1) of the Board’s

regulations (15 CFR Part 400),

requesting authority on behalf of the

Hubner Manufacturing Corporation

(HMC) (a subsidiary of Hubner GummiUnd Kunststoff GmbH, Germany), to

manufacture industrial bellows and

plastic/rubber molded parts under zone

procedures for the U.S. market and

export within FTZ 21. It was formally

filed on November 30, 1995.

HMC plans to establish a facility

within the Wando Park site of FTZ 21

to manufacture industrial bellows used

in buses, trains and airport gangways;

and, plastic, rubber, and metal molded

parts used in motor vehicles, medical

instruments, and sporting goods. Certain

components and materials (about 40%

the finished products’ value) would be

sourced from abroad, including:

rubberized fabric, trimming bands,

articulation/electronic/hydraulic parts,

aluminum profiles, treat plate and

kinematic systems, plastic resins, and

rubber compounds. All foreign

merchandise would be admitted to the

zone in privileged foreign status (19

CFR 146.41). Up to 80 percent of the

finished products are exported.

Zone procedures would exempt HMC

from Customs duty payments on the

foreign materials used in the export

activity. On domestic sales, the

company would be able to defer

Customs duty payments on the foreign

materials until they are transferred from

the zone for domestic consumption. A

portion of the foreign merchandise

which becomes scrap during the

production process (e.g., rubberized

fabric) may also be exempt from

Customs duties (scrap yield ranges up to

25 percent). 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 January 12, 1996. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to January 29, 1996).

A copy of the application and the

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at the following
