Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 06–2009]
Foreign-Trade Zone 22—Chicago, IL;
Expansion of Subzone and Scope of
Manufacturing Authority Subzone 22F;
Abbott Molecular, Inc.
(Pharmaceutical/Molecular Diagnostic
Products) Des Plaines and Elk Grove
Village, IL
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Illinois International Port
District, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone
22, requesting authority to expand the
subzone and scope of manufacturing
authority under zone procedures within
Subzone 22F at the pharmaceutical and
molecular diagnostic facilities of Abbott
Molecular, Inc. (Abbott), located in Des
Plaines and Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
The application was submitted pursuant
to the provisions of the FTZ Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR Part
400). It was formally filed on February
17, 2009.
Subzone 22F was approved by the
FTZ Board in 1992, at Abbott’s
pharmaceutical plants (4 sites, 791 acres
with 108 buildings totaling 6,441,803
square feet, 30 percent of which is
devoted to manufacturing), located in
North Chicago and Lake County,
Illinois. The facilities (9,400 employees)
are used to produce and/or distribute a
wide range of pharmaceutical products
(Board Order No. 611, 57 FR 61045, 12/
23/92). Expansion of manufacturing
authority was approved on 8/30/99
(Board Order No. 1051, 64 FR 48578,
09/07/99).
Abbott is now requesting authority to
expand the subzone to include two
additional sites: Site 5: (17 acres, one
building totaling 208,000 square feet,
455 employees) warehouse facility,
located at 1300 East Touhy, Des Plaines,
Illinois, and Site 6: (one acre, one
building totaling 14,400 square feet, 2
employees), warehouse facility, located
at 565 Busse Road, Elk Grove Village,
Illinois. The facilities are used to
warehouse and distribute molecular
diagnostic equipment (HTSUS
8979.89.9897, duty rate 2.5%). The
applicant is also requesting authority to
expand its scope of manufacturing
authority to include diagnostic
equipment and components (HTSUS

8479.90, 9027.30, 9027.50, 9027.90,
duty rates range from 2.5% to 4.2%)
under zone procedures. Abbott is also
requesting to include within its
manufacturing scope 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 would
require review by the FTZ Board.) The
duty rates for these inputs and final
products range from duty-free to 20
percent. The specific input and product
categories are listed in the application,
which is available in the ‘‘Reading
Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site
(see below).
Zone procedures could exempt Abbott
from customs duty payments on foreign
materials used in production for export
(some 60 percent 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 the
finished products (duty-free to 4.2%)
instead of the rates otherwise applicable
to the foreign input materials (duty-free
to 10.7%). Abbott also expects to realize
additional savings through the use of
weekly entry procedures. The
application indicates that the savings
from zone procedures would help
improve the plant’s international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Kathleen Boyce of the FTZ
Staff is designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
Public comment on the application is
invited from interested parties.
Submissions (original and 3 copies)
shall be addressed to the Board’s
Executive Secretary at the address listed
below. The closing period for their
receipt is April 24, 2009. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period (to May 11, 2009).
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111,
