Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-30-2018]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 7--Mayaguez, Puerto Rico; Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity; Lilly del Caribe, Inc.; 
(Pharmaceutical Products); Carolina, Puerto Rico

    Lilly del Caribe, Inc. (Lilly del Caribe) submitted a notification 
of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in 
Carolina, Puerto Rico. The notification conforming to the requirements 
of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 
14, 2018.
    Lilly del Caribe already has authority to produce the active 
ingredients humalog, duloxetine, abemaciclib, and barcitinib within 
Subzone 7K. The current request would add a finished product and a 
foreign status material/component to the scope of authority. Pursuant 
to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the 
specific foreign-status material/component and the specific finished 
product described in the submitted notification (as described below) 
and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Lilly del Caribe from 
customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used 
in export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status 
material/component noted below and in the existing scope of authority, 
the company would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry 
procedures that apply to: Finished lasmiditan tablets (duty-free). 
Lilly del Caribe 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.
    The material/component sourced from abroad is: Lasmiditan 
hemisuccinate active ingredient (duty rate 6.5%).
    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 June 27, 2018.
    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 website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

[email protected] or (202) 482-1963.

    Dated: May 15, 2018.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
