FTZ Management: PreReceipt - E214 to Foreign Receipts and CF214 FTZ Admission
E214 to Foreign Receipts
The
E214 to Foreign Receipts
screen for pre-receipts is used for assigning CBP 214 data to foreign purchased components. If carriers have sent manifest data, most of these fields will be auto-populated. If no manifest data is available, the user will key this information into the system. This screen can be accessed by choosing E214 to Foreign Receipts
from the PreReceipt
menu.note
For Air shipments, the Master Bill of Lading (BOL), House Bill of Lading (BOL), Carrier, Flight, and Arrival dates must all match what is in AMS. If there is a discrepancy between this data and what is in AMS, CBP will reject the e214 submission.
