Letter of Request from Grantee PORT EVERGLADES DEPARTMENT – Chief Executive & Port Director’s Office 1850 Eller Drive - Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316 954-523-3404 FAX 954-523-8713 Date, 2014 Mr. Andrew McGilvray Executive Secretary Foreign-Trade Zones Board U.S. Department of Commerce, FCB - Suite 4100W 1401 Constitution Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Subject: Application for Temporary Minor Boundary Modification Dear Mr. McGilvray: Broward County, Florida, as Grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone No. 25, hereby formally requests approval of a Temporary Minor Boundary Modification of our general-purpose foreign-trade zone. The present general-purpose Foreign-Trade Zone No. 25 consists of approximately 388 acres of land area designated as general-purpose FTZ of which 169 acres are currently activated with existing buildings at virtually 100% occupancy. In addition, Subzones 25B, 25C, 25D, 25E, and 25F have been added to accommodate the special-purpose needs of CITGO Petroleum Corporation, TransMontaigne Product Services, Inc., Motiva Enterprises LLC, Chevron Products Company, and South Florida Materials Corporation, respectively. Increased demand for additional general-purpose FTZ warehouse space has continued to make itself evident. However, the existing FTZ-designated buildings / outside storage areas at our general-purpose sites are fully occupied and utilized for either FTZ or other non-FTZ, maritime / industrial activities. Therefor, we need additional general-purpose facilities designated as FTZ to accommodate the immediate needs of both existing/expanding companies and new growth companies arriving in Broward County. CSB Tobacco Distributors, Inc. (CSB), a Dania Beach distributor of tobacco products, Prodeco Technologies LLC (PTL), an Oakland Park maker/distributor of electric bicycles, Shoreline Aerospace LLC (SAL), a Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport tenant and warehouse operator, and A2C USA LLC, an importer / exporter of bathroom fixtures, have each analyzed their competitive position in the international marketplace and reviewed their current Customs procedures regarding the merchandise they individually produce, store, market and distribute. Each company has realized that foreign-trade zone benefits will allow them to become more competitive, add or retain jobs, and grow their business activities in Broward County. To this end, they have applied to become Foreign-Trade Zone Users under individual agreements with Broward County’s Foreign-Trade Zone No. 25, pending the designation of their leased premises by the Foreign-Trade Zones Board and activation by the U.S. Customs & Border Protection. All four companies have reviewed the services provided by Broward County as Grantee/Operator of FTZ#25, found them to be most compatible with their warehousing and distribution activity, and are Broward County Board of County Commissioners Sue Gunzburger • Dale V.C. Holness • Kristin Jacobs • Martin David Kiar • Chip LaMarca • Stacy Ritter • Tim Ryan • Barbara Sharief • Lois Wexler www.broward.org requesting that Broward County seek formal designation of the acreage at their respective sites to be included within the boundaries of FTZ#25. The owners of the sites, Atlantic 18 LLC (for CSB), Mya Properties LLC & Oakland Station LLC (for PRT), Broward County’s Department of Ft. LauderdaleHollywood International (for SAL), and I-95 Realty, Inc. (for A2C), have consented to the designation of their land (0.03 acres, 7.825 acres, 10 acres, and 0.967 acres, respectively) as non-contiguous zone sites. There is one building at each site with existing warehouse space sufficient for each company’s current and future needs along with room for additional activity. Consistent with Foreign-Trade Zones Board practice, Broward County has identified a 27-acre portion of the existing FTZ which will be exchanged for the subject property during a three-year period of temporary minor boundary modification. The acreage to be exchanged is located at a portion of the Port Everglades GP FTZ Site 1 which is not currently in use as FTZ. During the three years, Broward County will prepare an FTZ Expansion Application to make permanent the subject properties and other identified sites that may be needed for FTZ use in the foreseeable future. All four companies will be the first to activate at these subject sites. Their current business needs dictate that they begin to utilize FTZ procedures at these sites in the next several weeks. FTZ benefits are essential to each company’s business expansion plans and their related job creation / investment in South Florida. Combined, these companies will be investing well over $1 million in their sites and will employ approximately 63 employees, scaling up to 134 employees (full-time) with FTZ designation/activation. Broward County and these four companies respectfully request that this application be processed expeditiously so as not to unduly delay their relocations / expansions or disrupt their ongoing business activities. Once approved by the FTZB, all four will be able to become active in their new FTZ locations immediately upon subsequent CBP activations. This Application is being made by Broward County as an extension of the long effort by civic leaders to increase employment opportunities and investment in the Broward County, Florida, area by encouraging international business activities. The foreign-trade zone operations envisioned will be an important factor in the County’s continuing program to attract new industry and encourage existing industry to expand in Broward County, Florida. The data contained in this Application sets forth the importance of this project to the continued growth of the community. Enclosed is an original of the Application for Temporary Minor Boundary Modification for your consideration. Broward County, Florida, appreciates your timely consideration of the Application for the reasons discussed therein. Thank you in advance for your support and assistance. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Robert C. Jacob, Jr., Foreign-Trade Zone Operator, at (954) 468-0214, FAX (954) 765-4628, or email [email protected].

Letters of Request / Consent From Potential FTZ Users / Current Owners April 16, 2013 (for CSB) Mr. Robert Jacob, Jr. Foreign-Trade Zone Operator Foreign-Trade Zone #25 Broward County's Department of Port Everglades - Business Administration Div. 1850 Eller Drive, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33316 Dear Bob, On behalf of CSB Tobacco Distributors, Inc., I’d like to express our interest in entering into a User Agreement with Broward County, Florida, the Grantee/Operator of Foreign Trade Zone No. 25. We are eager to join your Foreign Trade Zone and to be a part of the Broward County community. CSB Tobacco Distributors is in the process of relocating its offices to 1241 Stirling Road, Suite 110-111, in Dania Beach and will be conducting our wholesale/distribution business out of this location. Specifically, we’ve signed a 3-year lease with the option to renew for another 3-year term after that. This location will serve as our corporate headquarters. We’re initially investing over $750,000 into CSB and have an aggressive growth plan that will require continued investments. Our initial hiring projections call for approximately 5 employees, scaling up to 20 employees, which will add more jobs to Broward County. It is our goal to leverage the FTZ status to import our products from our factories in Nicaragua and Honduras in order to ship these products to retailers and distributors nationwide. With the FTZ status, we’ll be able to defer paying duties from the time of port entry to the point of sale, which will afford us the ability to fuel our growth plans. It is also our intent to work with other companies to extend them the same benefits through our FTZ status. We are excited about the opportunity to work with you and your organization and to be a part of the FTZ #25. We look forward to a successful partnership with you and are eager to begin the process of qualifying for the User status. Thank you for your assistance so far and for your willingness to help us through the process.
