Notification of Proposed Production Activity, Givaudan Fragrances 
Corporation, (Fragrance Compounds), Mount Olive, New Jersey

    Givaudan Fragrances Corporation (Givaudan), an operator of FTZ 44, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board for its facility located in Mount Olive, New Jersey. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 4, 2015.
    Givaudan already has authority to produce fragrance compounds 
within Site 1 of FTZ 44. The current request would add foreign-status 
materials to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), 
additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign-
status materials and components 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 Givaudan from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status materials used in export 
production. On

during customs entry procedures that applies to fragrance compounds

reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: lactic 
acid salts and esters; tartaric acid salts and esters; and, acridine 
and indole (duty rate ranges from free to 4.4%).
