[Docket 23–2005]
Foreign–Trade Zone 7 Mayaguez,
Puerto Rico, Application for Subzone,
Abbott Laboratories (Pharmaceutical
Products), Barceloneta, Puerto Rico
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Puerto Rico Industrial
Development Corporation, grantee of
FTZ 7, requesting special–purpose
subzone status for the pharmaceutical
manufacturing facilities of Abbott
Pharmaceuticals PR LTD. (APPR),
Abbott Health Products, Inc. (AHP), and
Abbott Biotechnology LTD (ABL),
subsidiaries of Abbott Laboratories
(Abbott), located in Barceloneta, Puerto
Rico. The application was submitted
pursuant to the Foreign–Trade Zones
Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u),
and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR
part 400). It was formally filed on May
17, 2005.
The proposed subzone (123 buildings
of 2,151,957 square feet (approx. 90%
mfg. sq. ft.) on 276 acres, with a possible
expansion of 34 buildings of 2,330,579
sq. ft.) is comprised of one site located
at Road No. 2, Km 58.0, Barceloneta,
Puerto Rico. The Abbott facility (2,200
employees) manufactures, tests,
packages, and warehouses
pharmaceutical and diagnostic
products, activities which it is
proposing to perform under zone
procedures.
It will be used to produce finished
dose pharmaceutical formulations and
diagnostic products. Initially, the
company is proposing to produce the
antibiotics, clarythromycin and
erythromycin; and Depakote/ a
treatment for epilepsy, migraine and
bipolar disorder, under zone
procedures. Materials sourced from
abroad represent 5–10 percent of the
value of the finished products
manufactured under the proposed
primary scope. Inverted tariff savings
will initially result from the following
ingredients: Beta Carb (HTSUS
2917.19.7050), hexamethyldisilozane
(HTSUS 2931.00.9010), and
hypromellose phtalate (HTSUS
3912.90.0090). Some 60 to 80 percent of
the proposed production under zone
procedures will be exported.
The application also requests
authority to include a broad range of
inputs and pharmaceutical final
products that it may produce under FTZ
procedures in the future. (New major
activity in these inputs/products could
require review by the FTZ Board.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this
antidumping duty order are all grades of
garlic, whole or separated into
constituent cloves, whether or not
peeled, fresh, chilled, frozen,
provisionally preserved, or packed in
water or other neutral substance, but not
prepared or preserved by the addition of
other ingredients or heat processing.
The differences between grades are

based on color, size, sheathing, and
level of decay.
The scope of this order does not
include the following: (a) garlic that has
been mechanically harvested and that is
primarily, but not exclusively, destined
for non–fresh use; or (b) garlic that has
been specially prepared and cultivated
prior to planting and then harvested and
otherwise prepared for use as seed.
The subject merchandise is used
principally as a food product and for
seasoning. The subject garlic is
currently classifiable under subheadings
0703.20.0010, 0703.20.0020,
0703.20.0090, 0710.80.7060,
0710.80.9750, 0711.90.6000, and
2005.90.9700 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of this order is dispositive. In
order to be excluded from the
antidumping duty order, garlic entered
under the HTSUS subheadings listed
above that is (1) mechanically harvested
and primarily, but not exclusively,
destined for non–fresh use or (2)
specially prepared and cultivated prior
to planting and then harvested and
otherwise prepared for use as seed must
be accompanied by declarations to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
that effect.
Background
The antidumping duty order on fresh
garlic from the PRC was published on
November 16, 1994. See Antidumping
Duty Order: Fresh Garlic From the
People’s Republic of China, 59 FR
59209. On November 30, 2004, the
Department received a request for a new
shipper review from Huamei. We
conducted an initial examination of its
new shipper review request and
initiated a new shipper review of the
antidumping duty order on fresh garlic
from the PRC for Huamei. See Notice of
Initiation of New Shipper Reviews, 70
FR 779 (January 5, 2005). The period of
review (POR) for the new shipper
review is November 1, 2003, through
October 31, 2004. As part of this new
shipper review, the Department sent an
antidumping duty questionnaire to
Huamei on January 4, 2005. Pursuant to
section 351.301(c)(2)(ii) of the
Department’s regulations, the
questionnaire included (a) a deadline
for the response; (b) a description of the
form and manner in which Huamei
must submit the information; and (c) a
statement that failure to submit the
requested information in the requested
form and manner by the date specified
could result in the application of facts
available.

[Docket 23-2005]
Foreign-Trade Zone 7 Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Application for
Subzone, Abbott Laboratories (Pharmaceutical Products), Barceloneta,
Puerto Rico
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board) by the Puerto Rico Industrial Development
Corporation, grantee of FTZ 7, requesting special-purpose subzone
status for the pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities of Abbott
Pharmaceuticals PR LTD. (APPR), Abbott Health Products, Inc. (AHP), and
Abbott Biotechnology LTD (ABL), subsidiaries of Abbott Laboratories
(Abbott), located in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico. The application was
submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19
U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It
was formally filed on May 17, 2005.
The proposed subzone (123 buildings of 2,151,957 square feet
(approx. 90% mfg. sq. ft.) on 276 acres, with a possible expansion of
34 buildings of 2,330,579 sq. ft.) is comprised of one site located at
Road No. 2, Km 58.0, Barceloneta, Puerto Rico. The Abbott facility
(2,200 employees) manufactures, tests, packages, and warehouses
pharmaceutical and diagnostic products, activities which it is
proposing to perform under zone procedures.
It will be used to produce finished dose pharmaceutical
formulations and diagnostic products. Initially, the company is
proposing to produce the antibiotics, clarythromycin and erythromycin;
and Depakote[supreg][subcom] a treatment for epilepsy, migraine and
bipolar disorder, under zone procedures. Materials sourced from abroad
represent 5-10 percent of the value of the finished products
manufactured under the proposed primary scope. Inverted tariff savings
will initially result from the following ingredients: Beta Carb (HTSUS
2917.19.7050), hexamethyldisilozane (HTSUS 2931.00.9010), and
hypromellose phtalate (HTSUS 3912.90.0090). Some 60 to 80 percent of
the proposed production under zone procedures will be exported.
The application also requests authority to include a broad range of
inputs and pharmaceutical final products that it may produce under FTZ
procedures in the future. (New major activity in these inputs/products
could require review by the FTZ Board.) General HTSUS categories of
inputs include: 1108, 1212, 1301, 1302, 1515, 1516, 1520, 1521, 1702,

7010, 7607, 8004, 8104, 8309, 8481, 9018, 9602. Duty rates for these
materials range from duty-free to 17%.
Final products that may be produced from the inputs listed above
include these general HTSUS categories: 2302, 2309, 2825, 2902, 2903,
2904, 2905, 2906, 2907, 2909, 2910, 2912, 2913, 2914, 2915, 2916, 2917,

3913, 3914 and 9018. Duty rates for these products range from duty-free
to 7.5%.
Zone procedures would exempt Abbott from Customs duty payments on
foreign materials used in production for export (some 60-80% of
shipments). On domestic shipments, the company would be able to defer
Customs duty payments on foreign materials, and to choose the duty rate
that applies to finished products (duty-free) instead of the rates
otherwise applicable to the foreign input materials (3.7% - 5.2%). The
application indicates that the savings from zone procedures would help
improve Abbott's international competitiveness.

staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and
report to the Board.
