Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-12-2021]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 5--Seattle, Washington; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Juno Therapeutics, Inc. 
(Biopharmaceuticals); Bothell, Washington

    Juno Therapeutics, Inc. (Juno) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in Bothell, 
Washington. 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 facility under FTZ 5. The facility is 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 Juno from customs duty 
payments on the foreign-status material used in export production. On 
its domestic sales, for the foreign-status material noted below, Juno 
would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures 
that applies to cell therapy products (duty-free). Juno 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 12, 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.
