Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 235--Lakewood, New Jersey, Notification
of Proposed Production Activity, Cosmetic Essence Innovations, LLC,
(Fragrance Bottling), Holmdel, New Jersey
Cosmetic Essence Innovations, LLC (CEI) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in
Holmdel, New Jersey within FTZ 235. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on October 30, 2013.
CEI already has authority to bottle fragrances within Site 8 of FTZ
235. The current request would add foreign status 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 and
components and specific finished products described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the
FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt CEI from customs duty
payments on the foreign status components used in export production. On
its domestic sales, CEI would be able to choose the duty rate during
customs entry procedures that applies to bottles of fragrances (duty-
free) for the foreign status inputs noted below and in the existing
scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign status production equipment.
The components and materials sourced from abroad include: metal
collars, plastic collars and metal caps or lids (duty rate ranges from
2.5 to 5.3%).
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 December 16, 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.
