Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 235--Lakewood, New Jersey, Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity, Cosmetic Essence Innovations, LLC, 
(Fragrance Bottling), Holmdel, New Jersey

    Cosmetic Essence Innovations, LLC (CEI) submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in 
Holmdel, New Jersey within FTZ 235. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on October 30, 2013.
    CEI already has authority to bottle fragrances within Site 8 of FTZ 
235. The current request would add foreign status components to the 
scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ 
authority 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 CEI from customs duty 
payments on the foreign status components used in export production. On 
its domestic sales, CEI would be able to choose the duty rate during 
customs entry procedures that applies to bottles of fragrances (duty-
free) for the foreign status inputs noted below and in the existing 
scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or 
reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: metal 
collars, plastic collars and metal caps or lids (duty rate ranges from 
2.5 to 5.3%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address 
below. The closing period for their receipt is December 16, 2013.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

    Dated: October 10, 2013.
