decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.

Foreign-Trade Zone 8—Toledo, Ohio;
Application for Production Authority;
Arbor Foods Inc. (Blended Syrup);
Toledo, Ohio
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Toledo-Lucas County Port
Authority, grantee of FTZ 8, requesting
production authority on behalf of Arbor
Foods Inc. (Arbor), located in Toledo,
Ohio. The application conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.23) was
docketed on October 10, 2019.
The Arbor facility (over 40 employees,
with two full-time employees for sugar
blends) is located within Site 1 of FTZ
8. The facility is used for production of
blended sugar. Arbor currently has FTZ
authority to produce dry-blended sugar

‘‘grandfathered’’ quantitative limit of
37.9 million pounds of imported ‘‘exquota’’ sugar. Arbor also has authority to
produce blended syrup (aka wetblended sugar) for export only—with no
quantitative limit on use of ex-quota
sugar for that export activity. Arbor’s
pending application seeks authorization
to produce blended syrup for the U.S.
market using up to the 37.9 million
pounds of ex-quota sugar annually
which, as noted above, is currently
limited to production of dry-blended
sugar.
On its domestic sales, production of
blended syrup under FTZ procedures
would allow Arbor to choose the duty
rate during customs entry procedures
that applies to blended syrup (duty rate:
6.0%) for the foreign-status input
(granular sucrose, either cane or beet,
duty rate: 35.74 20B5; per kg). Arbor
estimates that 54% of the blended syrup
is comprised of the foreign-status
component. Arbor would be able to
avoid duty on the foreign-status
component which becomes scrap/waste.

Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help expand the
plant’s sugar blend operations and allow
Arbor to ‘‘reactivate’’ its commercial
activity.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Juanita Chen and Elizabeth
Whiteman of the FTZ Staff are
designated examiners to evaluate and
analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations to the FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
December 16, 2019. Rebuttal comments
in response to material submitted
during the foregoing period may be
submitted during the subsequent 15-day
period to December 31, 2019.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ
Board’s website, which is accessible via
