[B-19-2021]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 59--Lincoln, Nebraska; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Zoetis Services, LLC; (Pharmaceutical 
Products); Lincoln, Nebraska

    Zoetis Services, LLC (Zoetis) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in Lincoln, 
Nebraska. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 2, 
2021.
    The Zoetis facility is located within Subzone 59E. The facility is 
used for the production of pharmaceuticals for the animal 
pharmaceutical industry. 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 Zoetis from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status material 
noted below, Zoetis would be able to choose the duty rates during 
customs entry procedures that applies to Simparica[supreg] (Sarolaner) 
chewable tablets (duty-free). Zoetis 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 sourced from abroad is sarolaner spray dried 
dispersion (duty rate 6.5%).
    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 26, 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.

    Dated: March 10, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
