As of the first quarter, 2002,
through our affiliation with Free Trade Textiles of New York,
Prismatic Dyeing & Finishing, Inc. received the unique
authorization from the United States Department of Commerce to
operate as a Free Trade Zone offering in-zone
manufacturing. Using this special permit, our customers may ship
and land offshore greige goods without duties or tariffs. These
goods may be processed in our facility, again without duties or
tariffs. The manufactured goods are eligible for export under
U.S. duty-exempt status. It is not uncommon for customers to save
15% more on duty and an additional 10% on griege cost, no quota
issues, quick delivery, dyed to U.S. specification. Under our
authority, cloth can be moved to other facilities for secondary
processing while maintaining their duty free status. The goods
may be processed and held for up to one year prior to re-export,
without incurring any duty or tariffs. For more information,
please contact us.
By
early 2003, our wide goods plant
expansion in dyeing & finishing will be operational to accommodate 130” greige goods
with up to 126” width finishing. Applications include engineered
fabrics, geo-textiles, filtration, government styles, full width bedding, and
doublewide panels for windows. We welcome the opportunity to
bring innovative solutions to your specific market needs.
