Foreign-Trade Zone 33 -- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Notification of 
Proposed Export Production Activity Tsudis Chocolate Company (Chocolate 
Confectionery Bars) Pittsburgh, PA

    Tsudis Chocolate Company (Tsudis), an operator of FTZ 33, submitted 
a notification of proposed export production activity for its facility 
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (15 
CFR 400.22) was received on December 4, 2012.
    The Tsudis facility is located within Site 10 of FTZ 33. Activity 
at the facility would involve the production of chocolate confectionery 
bars for export (no shipments for U.S. consumption would occur). For 
shipments to Canada or Mexico, production under FTZ procedures could 
allow reduced duty treatment under NAFTA Duty Deferral requirements. 
For shipments to other export markets, FTZ procedures could exempt 
Tsudis from customs duty payments on the foreign status material used 
in its production. The sole foreign-origin material to be used in the 
export production is liquid chocolate (duty rate: 52.8[cent]/kg+4.3%). 
Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign 
status production equipment or foreign liquid chocolate scrapped or 
destroyed under customs procedures.
    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 February 11, 2013.
    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 Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

    Dated: December 19, 2012.
