Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-10-2021]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 49--Newark and Elizabeth, New Jersey; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Celgene Corporation 
(Biopharmaceuticals); Warren and Summit, New Jersey

    Celgene Corporation (Celgene) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facilities in Warren and 
Summit, New Jersey. The notification conforming to the requirements of 
the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on 
February 12, 2021.
    A separate application has been submitted for FTZ designation at 
the company's facilities under FTZ 49. The facilities are used for the 
production of cell therapy products. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 
activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status material and 
specific finished product described in the submitted notification (as 
described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Celgene from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status material used in export production. 
On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status material noted below, 
Celgene would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry 
procedures that applies to cell therapy products (duty-free). Celgene 
would be able to avoid duty on foreign-status material which becomes 
scrap/waste. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced 
on foreign-status production equipment. The material sourced from 
abroad is human primary cells (``T-cells'') (duty-free).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to: 
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is April 6, 2021.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Reading Room'' section of the Board's website, which is 
accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
    For further information, contact Diane Finver at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-1367.

    Dated: February 22, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
