Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 37--Orange County, NY; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Takasago International Corporation (USA); 
(Fragrance Compounds); Harriman, NY

    Takasago International Corporation (USA) (Takasago), an operator of 
FTZ 37, submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the 
FTZ Board for its facility located in Harriman, New York. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on August 7, 2015.
    Takasago already has authority to produce fragrance compounds 
within Site 10 of FTZ 37. The current request would add foreign-status 
materials 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 Takasago from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status materials used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, Takasago would be able to choose the 
duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to fragrance 
compounds (duty-free) for the foreign status materials 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: Beeswax 
abs, myroxide, octacetal, syvertal, hydroxyl ambran, safralene, cresyl 
iso buty, geranyl butyrate, diisobutyl adipate, allyl amyl glyocolate, 
jasmodione, auirantiol pure, jasmolactone, octalactone delta, g-
undecalactone, methyl dioxolan, okumal, grisalva, iso butyl quinolone, 
peppermint oil, styrax resoid and crystarome strawberry (duty rate 
ranges from free to 6.5%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the 
address below. The
