status for a distribution facility of Pier

1 Imports, Inc., located in Grove City,

Ohio, within the Columbus, Ohio port

of entry area. 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 February

8, 1995.

Pier 1 is a nationwide retailer of home

furnishings, housewares, clothing,

fashion accessories, and gifts,

headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.

The company operates 586 stores in

North America with total sales of $700

million. Pier 1 has seven distribution

centers in the United States.

Pier One’s Grove City distribution

facility (527,000 sq. ft. on a 30-acre site)

is located at 3500 Southwest Boulevard

in Grove City, Ohio, some 5 miles west

of Columbus. It is used to distribute a

wide range of consumer products, most

of which are of foreign origin. While the

company currently uses the facility (46

employees) to supply Pier 1 stores only

in the northeastern United States, it

plans to expand the plant to

accommodate the relocation of

Canadian distribution operations to the

Grove City site.

Zone procedures would exempt Pier 1

from Customs duty payments on the

foreign products that are reexported. On

domestic sales, the company would be

able to defer Customs duty payments.

Foreign materials and finished products

held for export would be eligible for an

exemption from certain state and local

ad valorem taxes. The application

indicates that the use of zone

procedures at the facility is needed for

the proposed Canadian export activity.

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 of their

receipt is April 17, 1995. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period to May 2, 1995.
