Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 22—
Chicago, Illinois; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; AbbVie,
Inc. (Pharmaceutical Products); North
Chicago and Lake County, Illinois
AbbVie, Inc. (AbbVie), submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its
facilities in North Chicago and Lake
County, Illinois. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on July 16, 2021.
AbbVie already has authority to
produce pharmaceutical products
within Subzone 22S. The current
request would add a finished product
and foreign status materials to the scope
of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), additional FTZ authority
would be limited to the specific foreignstatus materials 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 AbbVie 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, AbbVie would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to
upadacitinib intermediate material
(duty rate 6.5%). AbbVie 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 materials sourced from abroad are
2-Amino-3,5-dibromopyrazine and
potassium tert-butylate (duty rate ranges
from 3.7 to 6.5%). The request indicates
that the foreign-status materials are
subject to duties under Section 301 of
the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301),
depending on the country of origin. The
applicable Section 301 decisions require
subject merchandise to be admitted to
FTZs in privileged foreign status (19
CFR 146.41).
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
September 8, 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.

Christopher Wedderburn at
