Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 37--Orange County, New York; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Takasago International 
Corp. (U.S.A.) (Fragrances); Harriman, New York

    Takasago International Corp. (U.S.A.) (Takasago) submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its 
facility in Harriman, New York. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on April 30, 2018.
    Takasago already has authority to produce fragrances within Site 10 
of FTZ 37. The current request would add additional foreign status 
components of essential oils and aromatic chemicals to the scope of 
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would 
be limited to the specific foreign-status components 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 components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status components 
noted below,

[[Page 20034]]

Takasago would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry 
procedures that applies to fragrances (duty-free). Takasago would be 
able to avoid duty on foreign-status components which become scrap/
waste. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on 
foreign-status production equipment.
