Approximately 25 percent of the plant's production is exported. Zone procedures would exempt Zeneca from Customs duty payments on foreign materials used in production for export. At the outset, zone procedures would be mainly used in the production of FLEX plus-minus. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures will help improve the Mobile County plant's international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board.
Public comment is invited from interested parties.
