Foreign-Trade Zone 43—Battle Creek,

MI; Request for Export Manufacturing

Authority Lotte U.S.A., Inc. (Chewing

Gum)

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the City of Battle Creek,

Michigan, grantee of FTZ 43, pursuant

to § 400.32(b)(1) of the Board’s

regulations (15 CFR Part 400),

requesting authority on behalf of Lotte

U.S.A., Inc. (subsidiary of Lotte

Company, Ltd., Japan), to manufacture

chewing gum under zone procedures for

export within FTZ 43. It was formally

filed on March 31, 1995.

Manufacturing approval is being

requested to permit the establishment of

a manufacturing for export operation

within FTZ 43 involving chewing gum.

Certain materials (accounting for less

that 20% of finished product value)

would be sourced from abroad,

including: Oil and powder-based

flavors, natural resin, polyvinyl acetate,

monoglyceroid, tea extract, and

kenponashi extract. U.S.-origin inputs

would include aspartame, gelatine and

natural rubber. All finished chewing

gum products made under zone

procedures would be exported.

Zone procedures would exempt Lotte

from Customs duty payments on the

foreign materials used in the export

activity. The operation will also require

authority from the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) because certain

non-FDA approved materials would be

used in the products made for export,

and FDA will be consulted by the FTZ

Board.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been appointed examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

invited from interested parties.
