DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board 

Docket 47–2008 

Foreign–Trade Zone 189 Kent/Ottawa/ 

Muskegon Counties, Michigan, 

Application for Subzone, Wolverine 

World Wide, Inc. (Footwear and 

Apparel Distribution) 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Kent–Ottawa-Muskegon 

Foreign Trade Zone Authority, grantee 

of FTZ 189, requesting special–purpose 

subzone status for the footwear and 

apparel distribution facilities of 

Wolverine World Wide, Inc. 

(Wolverine), located in Rockford, Cedar 

Springs and Howard City, Michigan. 

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 August 25, 2008. 

The proposed subzone would include 

Wolverine’s facilities at 3 sites located 

within the Grand Rapids, Michigan port 

of entry area: Site 1 (265 acres) - 9341 

Courtland Drive, in Rockford; Site 2 (19 

acres) - 660 West Street S NE, in Cedar 

Springs; and, Site 3 (26 acres) - 214 East 

Washburn Street, in Howard City. Site 

1 is owned by Wolverine while sites 2 

and 3 are leased. The facilities are used 

for warehousing and distribution of both 

foreign–origin and domestic footwear, 

apparel and gear for both the U.S. 

market and export. The application 

states that all textile and apparel 

products classified under Textile Import 

Quota categories would be admitted to 

the proposed subzone under domestic 

(duty–paid) status (19 CFR Sec. 146.41). 

FTZ procedures would be used to help 

support Wolverine’s Michigan–based 

import and distribution activity. 

FTZ procedures would exempt 

Wolverine from Customs duty payments 

on foreign products that are re– 

exported. On domestic sales, duty 

payments would be deferred until the 

foreign merchandise is shipped from the 

facilities and entered for consumption. 

The company would also realize 

significant logistical benefits related to 

the use of direct delivery and weekly 

customs entry procedures. The 

application indicates that the savings 

from the use of FTZ procedures would 

help improve the company’s 

international competitiveness and help 

facilitate the company’s plans to grow 

their export market. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Christopher Kemp of the 

FTZ staff is designated 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 November 3, 2008. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period (to November 

17, 2008). 

A copy of the application and 

accompanying exhibits will be available 

at each of the following addresses: U.S. 

Department of Commerce Export 

Assistance Center, 401 West Fulton 

Street, Suite 349C, Grand Rapids, MI 

49504; and, Office of the Executive 

Secretary, Foreign–Trade Zones Board, 

Room 2111, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Ave, NW, 

Washington, D.C. 20230. For further
