On Friday August 19, 2005, the Federal Register
announced that CBP will start "a voluntary test program
to allow the submission of electronic Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ)
admission applications." Paper 214s will still be
accepted for non-participating FTZs.
The date this test program starts will be "no earlier
than September 30, 2005, and will run for approximately 6
months with a final evaluation to take place at the end of
that period."
The test program is limited to electronic FTZ admission applications for merchandise reported to CBP via air, sea, and rail manifest. At a future date, merchandise reported via truck manifest will be able to transmit electronically the 214 data.
The test program will also incorporate transmissions of data
on merchandise that is transported to a FTZ or from a FTZ if
the data transmission is made via CBP Form 7512 in-bond
transaction or its electronic equivalent.
FTZ operators are eligible to participate and there are no
application procedures. Participants must request
permission to admit merchandise into a FTZ by electronically
transmitting the CBP Form 214 data elements to CBP via
ABI. A transmission can "cover a single shipment
of merchandise or be a consolidated transmission that covers
multiple shipments to a single zone."
