Two replies will be received: a reply stating that a Paperless Admission (B4) was given, immediately followed by a reply stating that the Admission is authorized (BF). |
Documents Required |
A reply will be received that Documents are Required (B5). Upon receipt of this message, the paper submission process required by the CBP port personnel should be followed. Upon manual review, the CBP personnel will authorize the e214 in the CBP system. Upon this step, a reply will be received, stating the Admission is Authorized (BF). |
214 Removal
It is not possible to delete a 214 admission, it can only be edited. If you need a 214 admission removed, contact Support for assistance.
Transmitting a Replace 214
If the 214 being revised has previously been accepted or authorized by CBP, additional fields will display on the screen. In order to transmit the
Replace e214
, at least one Reason Code
must be checked. If the Reason Code Other
is checked, then Remarks
will also be required. Optionally, Contact Information
to include in the transmission may be selected.If you are closing out an eTempDeposit by retransmitting with product information, officer approval is not required. In this scenario, select the
Replace Temporary Deposit
Reason Code.
A
Replace
request (other than for Temporary Deposits) must be approved by a CBP Port Officer, so there will be a delay between the time the B1 Accepted response is received and the time that the additional B4/BF or B5 responses as described above are received. CBP has stated that it may take up to 48 hours for the officer to approve or deny the replace request.Replace options |

When CBP approves the Replace request, the RAP Reply will be received as well as the B4/BF or B5 as described above. CBP states this response may be received up to 48 hours after the initial B1 accepted response is received. |
Replace Denied by CBP |

214 Summary: Concur to Goods Received
Whether a zone is a non-Direct Delivery zone or authorized for Direct Delivery, the last step is the manifest concurrence. This step tells CBP that:
- The goods have been received and verified.
- The manifest can be posted.
When the concurrence message is sent, the reported manifest quantities will be automatically posted to the Bill of Lading in AMS. After merchandise has been received and the manifest can be closed out, open the
ABI 214 Summary
screen from the ABI
menu. Zone admissions that are available for manifest concurrences will have an active Concur
link (in blue). This means that the e214 has been authorized either through a paperless process or after a review of requested documents by CBP. Click Concur to proceed.
Clicking Concur redirects to the
Concurrences Detail
screen. This screen contains all detail information pre-populated for a full 214 level concurrence. As data is being entered, users may save their work at any time by clicking Save
. Upon completing data entry, click Transmit to send to CBP.
After CBP receives the concurrence message and confirms the message matches what is on record, you will see a Status of
Final
in the Concurrences Summary
screen.
Manifest quantity concurrences can occur at any of the following levels:
- Entire e214 amount
- Bill of Lading
- Container
- IT Number
The level at which the concurrence is created depends upon how much of the receipt has been received and verified at the zone.
214 Summary: Concurring an Entire 214 Quantity
When the user clicks “Concur” on the “e214 Summary” screen, the “Concurrence Detail” screen is defaulted with all the necessary information for concurring at the 214 level. A brief review of the screen will show:
- The admission number is populated.
- The Identification Qualifier is set to “FTZ Admission Number”.
- The Identification Number is populated with the e214 data.
- The Received Quantity is set to the total manifest quantity of the e214.
- All other fields are blank or defaulted as required for submission.
214 Summary: Concurring 214 Quantity by Manifest, BOL, In-Bond, or Container
If less than the full e214 quantity has been received and verified, the manifest concurrence should be at the appropriate level to match the quantity that is ready for concurrence.
To begin, open the
Concurrences Detail
screen from the ABI menu. In the Action drop-down menu, select Concur with Delivery of All Goods
. The difference here is that the user will then select how they would like to concur to the admission by selecting the appropriate “Identification Qualifier”.

Once the manifest concurrence is accepted by CBP, the reported quantity is posted to the AMS Bill of Lading.
If the reported quantity equals the remainder of the open quantity on the AMS Bill, the Bill of Lading will be closed and a notification of the bill closure will be transmitted by CBP to the submitter of the AMS Bill of Lading. If there is a remaining quantity on the AMS Bill of Lading, the General Order clock will continue to run.
Messages posted to the AMS Bill of Lading will be received through the e214 system and can be seen by clicking the “Replies” link on the “e214 Summary” screen for e214s with a status of “Posting Message”.
If the manifest quantity to which a concurrence has been received does not match the manifest quantity in CBP’s system, the user may receive a notification that the remaining quantity in CBP’s system will be sent to General Order (GO) as the General Order time expires.
As in the paper 214 process, this must be resolved through negotiating with the carrier that filed the manifest.
