Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 57--Charlotte, North Carolina
Notification of Proposed Export Production Activity Gildan Yarns, LLC
(Cotton, Cotton/Polyester Yarns) Salisbury, North Carolina
The Charlotte Regional Partnership, Inc., grantee of FTZ 57,
submitted a notification of proposed export production activity to the
FTZ Board on behalf of Gildan Yarns, LLC (Gildan), located in
Salisbury, North Carolina. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on December 8, 2014.
The Gildan facility is located within Site 19 of FTZ 57. The
activity at the facility would involve the production of spun cotton
and cotton/polyester yarns for export (no shipments for U.S.
consumption would occur). Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity
would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and
components and specific finished products described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the
FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Gildan from customs
duty payments on the foreign status material used in export production.
The sole foreign-origin material to be used in the export production is
polyester staple fiber (duty rate: 4.3%). Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment
or the foreign material scrapped or destroyed under U.S. Customs and
Border Protection procedures.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for their receipt is January 27,
