Foreign-Trade Zone 66 -- Wilmington, NC; Application for Expansion
TEXT: An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the North Carolina Department of Commerce, grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 66, requesting authority to expand the zone to include
the entire Port of Wilmington terminal complex in Wilmington, North
Carolina, within the Wilmington Customs port of entry. 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 July 18, 1986.
On April 14, 1981, the Board authorized the North Carolina Department of
Commerce to establish a foreign-trade zone in Wilmington (Board Order 174,
46 FR 22919, 4/22/81). The project currently covers 36 acres within the Port
of Wilmington terminal complex.
The application requests the designation of the entire 390-acre terminal
complex as a zone to provide flexibility in meeting the growing demand for
zone services. Parcels within this area would be activated as needed after
Customs approval.

been appointed to investigate the application and report to the Board. The
committee consists of: Joseph Lowry, (Chairman), Foreign-Trade Zones Staff,
