Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 44--Trenton, New Jersey; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc.
(Flavor and Fragrance Products); Hazlet, New Jersey
International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. (IFF) submitted a
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its
facility in Hazlet, New Jersey. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on September 6, 2018.
[[Page 47329]]
IFF already has authority to produce flavor and fragrance products
within Subzone 44B. The current request would add sixteen foreign
status materials/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/components described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the
FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt IFF from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below, IFF would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that apply to flavor and fragrance
products (duty-free to 10%). IFF 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 materials/components sourced from abroad include: Glycerides
mixed decanoyl and octanoyl; musk ketone supra; aldehyde C-16
strawberry; octinoxate; ivy carbaldehyde/methyl anthranilate Schiff's
base; hydroxycitronellal/methyl anthranilate Schiff's base; herbal
pyran; alpha-amyl cinnamylidene/methyl anthranilate Schiff's base;
leeral/methyl anthranilate Schiff's base; coumarin; ethylene
dodecanoate; aldehyde C-18; octahydrocoumarin; gamma decalactone;
muskalactone; and, gamma-undecalactone (duty rate ranges from duty-free
to 7.7%, or 8.8[cent] per kg.).
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 October 29, 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,
