Creek, Michigan, Notification of
Proposed Production Activity, Pfizer,
Inc., (Pharmaceutical Products),
Kalamazoo, Michigan
Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its facility
in Kalamazoo, Michigan within
Subzone 43E. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on April 12, 2017.
Pfizer already has authority to
produce certain pharmaceutical
products within Subzone 43E. The
current request would add finished
products and a foreign status material/
component to the scope of authority.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
material/component 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 Pfizer from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status material/
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, Pfizer would be
able to choose the duty rate during
customs entry procedures that apply to
crisaborole (EucrisaTM) (duty free) in
