Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B–30–2021]
MSD International GMBH (Puerto
Rico Branch) LLC (MSD) submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its facility
in Las Piedras, Puerto Rico. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on April 16, 2021.
MSD already has authority to produce
certain pharmaceutical products within
Subzone 7G. The current request would
add a finished product and a foreignstatus material to the scope of authority.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
material and specific finished product
described in the submitted notification
(as described below) and subsequently
authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt MSD from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components
noted below and in the existing scope
of authority, MSD would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that applies to
molnupiravir pharmaceutical tablets
(duty-free). MSD would be able to avoid
duty on foreign-status components
which become scrap/waste. Customs
duties also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
The material sourced from abroad is
molnupiravir active pharmaceutical
ingredient (duty rate 3.7%).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is June
7, 2021.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s
website, which is accessible via
www.trade.gov/ftz.
