Northern Mississippi FTZ, Inc. has submitted an application to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board to designate a subzone for Baxter Healthcare Corporation's facility in Byhalia, Mississippi. This proposed subzone, covering 57.2 acres, will operate under the guidelines of the Foreign-Trade Zones Act and the FTZ Board regulations. No request for production activity has been made, and public comments on the application are welcome until February 16, 2021. Camille Evans of the FTZ Staff is assessing the application, with further details available via the FTZ Board's website or by contacting her directly.
Simple Explanation
Baxter Healthcare wants to make a special area in Mississippi where they can move things in and out easily without paying extra taxes right away, and they are asking for permission to do so. People can say what they think about this plan until February 16, 2021, and a person named Camille is looking at the request to see if it should be allowed.
