Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 12, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Uni Ag Group, LLC; (Bulk Premixes); McAllen, Texas
The McAllen Foreign Trade Zone Inc., grantee of FTZ 12, submitted a
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board (the
Board) for export-only production on behalf of Uni Ag Group, LLC (Uni
Ag), located in McAllen, Texas within FTZ 12. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR
400.22) was received on May 15, 2024.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status material(s)/component(s) and
specific finished product(s) described in the submitted notification
(summarized below) and subsequently authorized by the Board. The
benefits that may stem from conducting production activity under FTZ
procedures are explained in the background section of the Board's
website--accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>.
The proposed finished products include: chocolate mixture (85% to
92% sugar and 15% to 8% cocoa powder), chocolate premix (sugar, cocoa,
citric acid), gelatin premix (5% to15% gelatin and 95% to 85% sugar),
peanut premix(10% peanuts, 90% sugar), and syrup premix (97% raw sugar,
3% activated carbon).(duty rate ranges from 33.87 cents per kilogram
plus 6% to 5.10%).
The proposed foreign-status materials/components include: beet
sugar; cane sugar; refined white sugar; raw sugar (very high polarity
sugar); roasted peanuts; raw peanuts; gelatin; cocoa powder; blanched
peanuts; and activated carbon (duty rate ranges from 0.52 cents per
kilogram to 131.80%). The request indicates that certain materials/
components 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). The request
indicates that activated carbon is subject to an antidumping/
countervailing duty (AD/CVD) order/investigation if imported from
certain countries. The Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.13(c)(2))
require that merchandise subject to AD/CVD orders, or items which would
be otherwise subject to suspension of liquidation under AD/CVD
procedures if they entered U.S. customs territory, be admitted to the
zone in PF status.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to:
