Foreign Trade Zone Project
Processing Overview
The Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) submission will be transmitted via the Automated Broker Interface (ABI). The data transmission will contain a single submission for a conveyance or it can be a consolidated submission, which encompasses multiple conveyances. For each conveyance there can be multiple bills of lading on the document. Only one AB/YZ set is allowed. Whenever there is a change to the CBPF-214 a complete retransmission of the entire submission will be required.
Line numbers will be implemented at the description level. These line numbers will relate to a particular harmonized number and will be reset at each new bill of lading. When a particular line item is deleted from a CBPF-214 admission document the number will not be reused. Because of this requirement there may be gaps in the line number sequencing for a particular bill of lading. Whenever new tariffs are added they will be represented at the next highest line number previously used on the doc.
The merchandise may arrive at the zone via an in-bond movement and this information will be received in the NF90. Upon arrival at the zone the in-bond may be arrived based upon the zone operator’s acknowledgement that the cargo has arrived. The carrier’s bill of lading will be closed upon the zone operator’s acceptance of all the merchandise into the zone. In addition to in-bond movements there is new functionality to allow zone operators to electronically initiate Permit To Transfer (PTT) movements to move cargo to an FTZ.
This project provides the operator with a transaction set to report discrepant shipments to the carrier and to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Until the operator gives their concurrence the shipment liability is still with the importing carrier.
A transaction history will be maintained for the admission.
Regular Admission (not Direct Delivery)
For a regular admission, the CBPF-214 data will be submitted to CBP prior to the delivery of the merchandise to the zone.
The ‘Admission Authorized’ message will be generated upon the successful completion of all the required processing of the FT data set electronically presented to CBP. It will be sent to the appropriate parties upon the receipt of a paperless admission response from selectivity or in the advent of a ‘Doc’s required’ message, it will be sent after the inspector acknowledges receipt of the docs and determines that all is in order. The message will read ‘Admission Authorized’.
Direct Delivery
For zones authorized for direct delivery processing, the cargo will be allowed to move into the zone from the CBP port via in-bond authorization for inter-port movements or PTT authorization for intra-port movements. The CBPF-214 data will then be submitted within 24 hours of receipt of the merchandise into the FTZ inventory and recordkeeping system.
Cargo Selectivity Processing
Cargo selectivity is performed on all FTZ Admissions Data.
Bio Terrorism Act (BTA) Processing
Prior notice must be filed at the bill of lading level for FTZ and be in the system at the time of submission of the CBPF-214 data.
Movement Authorization
It is the responsibility of the FTZ to initiate the EPTT to transfer goods to the zone. A regular admission (non-direct delivery) must be on file, the goods accepted by the zone operator and the admission authorized prior to the submission of the EPTT.
A Direct Delivery zone may submit the EPTT prior to submission of the admission.
Once the EPTT has been authorized a “PTT MESSAGE DATA ACCEPTED” will be sent to the FTZ and the party in possession of the cargo; either the Carrier or a Deconsolidator/CFS will receive authorization to allow the cargo to move to the FTZ.
In the air environment, if the cargo is moving from the Carrier to a Deconsolidator/CFS prior to movement to the FTZ, the Deconsolidator/CFS must arrive the local transfer at the master level prior to the submission of the EPTT by the FTZ. Failure to do so will result in the notification of the movement authorization routing to the Carrier and not the Deconsolidator/CFS.
Consolidated Filing
An Importer Security Filing (ISF) can be included with an FTZ submission by inserting the SF10 to SF36 records immediately following the last FTZ data record.
Importer Security Filing Information (ISF-10)
1. Consignee identification number
2. Manufacturer Name and Address
3. Seller Name and Address
4. Buyer Name and Address
5. Ship to Name and Address
6. Scheduled Container Stuffing Location
7. Consolidator name and address
The following are required ISF data elements but are not reported in the SF10 to SF36 records because they will be extracted from the required FTZ data.
8. Importer of Record (For FTZ purposes, this is the FTZ applicant)*
9. Country of origin
10. Harmonized Tariff Schedule
* The ISF Importer and the Importer of Record are treated as two separate entities although they will most likely be the same entity. The ISF Importer must be reported in the SF10 record. The Importer of record will be extracted from the required FTZ data. Importer of Record is not always reported with the FTZ data in record FT60. If the Importer of Record is not reported in record FT60, it must be reported in record SF30.
To delete a previously accepted Importer Security Filing, only the SF10 record is required containing the ISF transaction number previously provided in the SN output transaction. The Mandatory/Conditional status indicated for all other records applies to “Add” or “Replace” actions only.
Response to an Importer Security Filing included with FTZ data will be issued separate from the FTZ Response. The output application will be SN and one SN output set will be returned for each conveyance included in the FTZ submission.

Note 1
Valid Admission Type codes are:
Code Description
A Regular Admission
C Status Change – Bill of lading required, no other manifest data is required. Use FTZ generated bill of lading.
D Domestic – Bill of lading required. No other manifest data is required. Use Carriers bill of lading.
O Overage Admission – Bill of lading required, no other manifest data is required. Use FTZ generated bill of lading.
T Temporary Deposit – this Admission type will not have FT50 or FT51 records. Upon the initial submission, there is an admission type of “T” on the FT20 record that says this is a temp Deposit. This indicator allows submission without FT50 and FT51 records. Once research is completed, if an admission is needed, a second submission occurs with a Replace”R” action code along with the FT50, FT51 records. If none of material is admitted, a record a “D” action will be sent and FT60 is allowed for comments. In this case, only FT10 and FT60 will be required. In the FT60 record, comments, including the entry or export document number, may be included. After 15 days, if no admission or a deletion of the temp deposit record occurs, the goods are ordered GO. Processing of extensions is outside the system and will not be automated. Bill of Lading required, use carriers bill of lading.
Z Zone to Zone- Bill of Lading required, no other manifest data is required. Use Carriers bill of lading.
Note 2
When an Air Waybill is split, a separate admission must be transmitted for each part of the split.
• Positions 6-9 must use the 3-character airline carrier codes.
• Positions 33-47 must contain the flight number and be a minimum of 4 AN characters. If less, pad zeros to the left, i.e. flight 15 would be transmitted as 0015.
• Positions 68-75 must be the ACTUAL arrival date. The arrival date for air is the date of arrival at the first U.S. port.
FT40 Record Processing
The following processing will occur on the FT40 record:
The application will verify the FIRMS code and ensure that the location has a valid operator’s bond on file (Type 4). If the FIRMS code is not on the FIRMS file generate error message ‘Invalid Firms Code’. If the FIRMS is not bonded generate error message ‘FIRMS Not Bonded’. If the FIRMS Code is not in the same Port as the FTZ generate error message ‘FIRMS/FTZ Port Mismatch’. This field will be present when they are requesting a PTT.
Overage and Status Change Bills
When an Overage or Status Change Reporting occurs in an Admission the admission filer (i.e. broker) creates a bill. In the bill of lading field of the FT40 record (positions 3-37) the admission filer provides the created bill number constructed with the following elements:
Zone FIRMS Code positions 1- 4
Literal “ADJ” positions 5 – 7
Date “YYMMDD” positions 8 – 13

FT50 and 51 Record Processing
The following processing will occur on the FT50 record:
The application will merge the FT50 and FT51 records into one line item detail record.
The application will add line item numbers as transmitted by the trade participant. These line numbers will relate to a specific tariff number. The line numbers will be reset with each new bill of lading in the FTZ submission. The line numbers cannot be repeated in a bill and if a line is deleted that line number cannot be reused.
The application will verify the Special Programs Indicator (SPI) against the HSA record. If the HSA number does not have a SPI generate error message ‘No Special Program Status Available’. If the code is invalid generate error message ‘Invalid SPI for Harmonized Number’.
The application will receive a quantity 1 and a quantity 2 with an accommodation for 2 decimal places.
The application will accept a weight, value, charges and zone status code. If the weight element is missing or zero, generate error message ‘Invalid Weight’. If the value element is missing or zero, generate error message ‘Invalid Value’. Census edits will be performed on codes P & N only.

STL Steel Import License
This data is necessary to comply with the collection of information required by the Department of Commerce for articles of steel subject to safeguard measures. The length and format are as prescribed by the Department of Commerce, but the license number is not validated by CBP in this transaction. Refer to Administrative Message 02-0910 (July 2002).
DIA Kimberley Process Certificate
This data is necessary to comply with the importation requirements under the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme [31 CFR 592]. The length and format of the certificate number are described in Administrative Message 04-2229, dated October 15, 2004, however the certificate number is not validated by CBP in this transaction.
The excerpt from the Administrative Message below is provided here as a service to the software developer and the trade filer as guidance only and is for the sake of promoting consistency with the reporting requirements on the ABI entry summary. There has been some obvious editing done to tailor the text to relate to the FTZ Admission transaction.
THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE (KIMBERLY PROCESS CERTIFICATE) WILL BE A 9 POSITION ALPHA/NUMERIC NUMBER AND WILL BE TRANSMITTED IN THE FTZ Admission FT60 Record, Reference ID field (Positions 51 - 59).
THERE MAY BE SITUATIONS WHERE THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE NUMBER THAT IS ISSUED MAY BE FEWER THAN 9 POSITIONS, OR GREATER THAN 9 POSITIONS. FOR THOSE SITUATIONS THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM REPORTING RULES WILL APPLY.
A) SITUATIONS WHERE THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE IS FEWER THAN 9 POSITIONS:
THE FIRST 2 POSITIONS OF THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE WILL ALWAYS BE A 2 ALPHABETIC CODE (ISO CODE). THE ISO CODE WILL BE TRANSMITTED IN POSITIONS 51-52. THE REMAINING DIAMOND CERTIFICATE NUMBER WILL BE RIGHT JUSTIFIED AND ADDITIONAL ZERO(S) WILL BE ADDED TO THE CERTIFICATE NUMBER TO COMPLETE THE MISCELLANEOUS PERMIT/LICENSE FIELD. THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE WILL ILLUSTRATE AN ISSUED DIAMOND CERTIFICATE THAT IS FEWER
THAN 9 POSITIONS.
THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS 'CG00123'. THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE WOULD BE SUBMITTED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER IN THE MISCELLANEOUS PERMIT/LICENSE FIELD:
POSITION 59 = '3'.
POSITION 58 = '2'.
POSITION 57 = '1'.
POSITION 56 = '0'
POSITION 55 = '0'
POSITION 54 = '0' (FILLER)
POSITION 53 = '0' (FILLER)
POSITION 52 = 'G'
POSITION 51 = 'C'
IN THE ABOVE EXAMPLE, THE KIMBERLY DIAMOND CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS ONLY 7 BYTES LONG. THE NUMERIC PORTION OF THE ABOVE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE (00123) WILL BE RIGHT JUSTIFIED. THE REMAINING FIELDS AFTER THE ISO CODE (POSITION 51-52) WILL BE FILLED IN WITH ZEROS.
B) SITUATIONS WHERE THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE IS GREATER THAN 9 POSITIONS.
SOME COUNTRIES MAY ISSUE DIAMOND CERTIFICATES WHERE THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE NUMBER IS GREATER THAN 9 POSITIONS. THESE COUNTRIES USUALLY WILL ADD ADDITIONAL ZEROS TO THE CERTIFICATE NUMBER. THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE WILL ILLUSTRATE AN ISSUED DIAMOND CERTIFICATE THAT IS GREATER THAN 9 POSITIONS.
THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS 'CG0001234567'. IN THIS EXAMPLE, THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS 12 POSITIONS. THE DIAMOND CERTIFICATE SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER IN THE MISCELLANEOUS PERMIT/LICENSE NUMBER FIELD:
POSITION 59 = '7'
POSITION 58 = '6'
POSITION 57 = '5'
POSITION 56 = '4'
POSITION 55 = '3'
POSITION 54 = '2'
POSITION 53 = '1'
POSITION 52 = 'G'
POSITION 51 = 'C'

For a “Delete” Action Code, only the SF10 record is required to be submitted with the ISF transaction number that was previously provided in the SN output transaction.
For Action Reason Code, CT is mandatory when Action Reason Code is ‘A’ (Add) or ‘R’ (Replace).
CT = Complete Transaction – All data is present, no special flexibility rules apply. If “CT” is used, the ISF can be updated if necessary, but CBP does not require the ISF to be updated.
Note 2
The qualifiers for data element ISF Importer Number Qualifier (left justified) are:
EI = Employer Identification Number (IRS #)
ANI = CBP-assigned Number
34 = Social Security Number
Valid formats for the ISF Importer Number are:
NN-NNNNNNNXX Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Number
YYDDPP-NNNNN CBP Assigned Number
NNN-NN-NNNN Social Security Number
In these codes, N = number, X = alphanumeric, YY = the last two digits of the calendar year when the number is assigned, DDPP = the district/port code where the number is assigned.
If the ISF Importer Number is in the IRS number format and the last two positions are blank, the system may convert the blanks to zeros. Importer Security Filing output data may show the last two positions of the ISF Importer Number as zeros when two blanks were input.
For goods intended to be entered into an FTZ (Foreign Trade Zone), for the purposes of the Importer Security Filing, the Importer of Record is deemed to be the Applicant for FTZ Admission and is the same “importer number” as would be reported in CBP Form 3461. For example, if the IRS number is used on the CBP Form 3461 or CBP Form 7501 to identify the importer of record, then code EI would be used in data element ISF Importer Number Qualifier (left justified) and the IRS number reported in data element ISF Importer Number of this record.
Note 3
CBP will assign a unique ISF Transaction Number (FFF-NNNNNNNNNNN) that will be returned in the SF10 record of the output response from CBP to the ISF filer in the SN transaction set. FFF=Filer code and NNNNNNNNNNN=numeric sequence number. This field needs to be space filled if the Action Code is Add.
Note 4
A Bond Type 9 may only be used with a Bond Activity Code 16. If this condition is present, an SF20 is mandatory for both the Surety Code (V1) and the Bond Reference Number (SBN). Note: the Bond Reference Number is NOT the bond number.

Note 1
For action taken at the Admission Number level, using Action Qualifier 1:
The application will ensure that the Zone Admission Number is on file with CBP. If Admission is not of file generate error message ‘Admission Not On File’. If the field is blank generate error message ‘Invalid/Missing Admission Number.
The Action Code field will contain an ‘A’ when the zone operator concurs with all elements reported on this admission. At this time a transaction will be written to the FTZ database recording this event. An additional transaction will be written to all bills of lading associated with this admission. The reported quantities from the admission will be posted to the appropriate bill of lading and if this posting causes the bill to be closed the bill status will be updated to ‘CLOSED”. Partial concurrences are not accepted via this method.
Note 1 - Continued
When the Action Code field contains a ‘G’ the goods will not be accepted into the zone because they are not authorized for admission. This event will be logged as a transaction posted against the bill of lading and a transaction will be written to the admission history file.
When the Action Code field contains an ‘H’ the goods will be allowed into the zone but no quantity verification has been done. This event will be logged as a transaction posted against the bill of lading and a transaction will be written to the admission history file.
For action taken at the Bill of Lading level, using Action Qualifier 2:
The Application will ensure that the Bill of Lading was reported in the admission. If not generate error message ‘Bill of Lading not Part of Admission’. If the Bill of Lading is not reported to AMS and the MOT is 10, 20, 40 generate error message ‘Bill of Lading not in AMS’. If the field is blank generate error message ‘Invalid/Missing Bill of Lading Number’. When processing at the Bill of Lading level the Admission Number must also be transmitted in the FZ11 Record.
The Action Code field will contain a ‘B’ when the Zone operator concurs with all elements reported on this Bill of Lading. At this time a transaction will be written to the FTZ database recording this event. An additional transaction will be written to the bill of lading. The reported quantity from the bill will be posted and if this posting causes the bill to be closed the bill status will be updated to ‘CLOSED”.
When the Action Code field contains an ‘I’ the goods have been arrived into the zone but no qty verification has been done. This event will be logged as a transaction posted against the bill of lading and a transaction will be written to the admission history file.
For action taken at the In-bond Number level, using Action Qualifier 3:
The Application will ensure that the in-bond number was reported in the admission. If not generate error message ‘In-bond Number not Part of Admission’. If the in-bond number is not reported to AMS and the MOT is 10, 20, 40 generate error message ‘in-bond number not in AMS’. If the field is blank generate error message ‘Invalid/Missing In-bond Number’.
The Action Code field will contain a ‘C’ when the zone operator concurs with all elements reported on this in-bond number. At this time a transaction will be written to the FTZ database recording this event. An additional transaction will be written to all bills of lading associated with this in-bond number. The reported quantities from the in-bond number will be posted to the appropriate bills of lading and if this posting causes the bill to be closed the bill status will be updated to ‘CLOSED”. Partial concurrences are not accepted via this method.
Note 1 - Continued
When the Action Code field contains an ‘I’ the goods have been arrived into the zone but no quantity verification has been done. This event will be logged as a transaction posted against the bill of lading and a transaction will be written to the admission history. When the goods are arrived at the zone by In-bond Number, this also arrives the in-bond at destination.
For action taken at the Container Number level, using Action Qualifier 4:
The Application will ensure that the container is present on one of the Bills of Lading in the Admission. If not generate error message ‘Container Number Invalid for Bills’. This verification will be done referencing the AMS Tables. If the field is blank generate error message ‘Invalid/Missing Container Number’. When processing at the Container level the Admission Number must also be transmitted in the FZ11 Record.
The Action Code field will contain a ‘D’ when the Zone operator concurs with all elements reported on this container. At this time a transaction will be written to the FTZ database recording this event. An additional transaction will be written to all bills of lading associated with this container. The reported quantities from the container will be posted to the appropriate bills of lading and if the quantities posted equal the manifested/amended quantities of the bill, the bill status will be updated to ‘CLOSED”.
If the Action Code equals ‘F’:
The submitter is requesting a Permit To Transfer for the Bill and/or Container identified in the Identification Number field. The ID Qualifier must indicate the appropriate value for a Bill of Lading Number reported in the FZ10. When requesting a PTT at the container level the FZ11 record will contain the ID of the container (s) being moved. If a PTT is requested then the IRS Identifier and FIRMS Code must be reported in the FZ10 record. The IRS number must have an Active Custodial Bond on file with CBP. The FIRMS must be a valid location on the XRJ file and must be in the Port where the movement is occurring. This must also be a bonded facility.
The Airport Code will be reported for all Air Shipments. This will be validated against the Database table referenced by the Airport Code (AWC) file. If the code is not on this table generate error message ‘Invalid/Missing Airport Code’. If this field is missing and it is an air shipment generate error message ‘Invalid/Missing Airport Code’.
The Received Quantity must be greater than zero and must be used when the operator is reporting a PTT. This is a manifest level quantity. This number will be a whole number reflecting what the zone operator has at their location.
When the Action Code field contains an ‘I’ the goods have been arrived into the zone but no quantity verification has been done. This event will be logged as a transaction posted against the bill of lading and a transaction will be written to the admission history file. PTT can only be initiated for container and BOL level.
