FTZ Management: PreReceipt Processing Overview

For Foreign Trade Zones that are not approved for Direct Delivery, the PreReceipt module will be enabled to allow reporting of the 214 Admission prior to receipt into the zone.

Background

If a client is not authorized for Direct Delivery by Customs, pre-receipt processing is required.
Direct Delivery is an authorization that allows the client to submit an e214 to Customs once the goods reach the zone and are put into the user’s inventory management system.
In a non-direct delivery environment, the e214 must be submitted to Customs prior to leaving the port where the goods were imported. The e214 would then require multiple actions taken against it including:
• An
Accepted, Quantity Not Verified
transmission
• An
Arrival
of the goods
• A
Concurrence
to close the 214 once the goods arrive in the zone and the e214 is reconciled with the inventory receipts.
