FTZ Management: e214 - Temporary Deposit (Overview, Admitting, Viewing and Deleting)

The Temporary Deposit feature allows the user to file Temporary Deposits (eTD) electronically with CBP prior to an admission of goods into a zone. Please refer to the Foreign-Trade Zone Management User Guide for proper use of Temporary Deposits within your zone.
If you intend to use this feature, please contact your Thomson Reuters Client Solutions Representative for proper configuration.

Admitting Temporary Deposit Product into the Zone

If product is admitted into the zone that was previously transmitted to CBP as an eTD, the original eTD 214 must be closed out with CBP by re-transmitting the 214 with the product information. The transactions to receive the products in the system (RPPC or RPIM) must be processed through staging and validation.
  1. After transactions have passed validation, open the e214 Assignment screen from the Assignment menu.
  2. Select the TransportID of the product that was previously reported on the eTD.
  3. Enter the previous eTD 214 number in the
    CF214
    number field.
  4. Click on
    Load From TempDeposit
    . This will populate manifest information from the previous admission.
  5. Click
    Fill
    and continue with processing through FIFO finalization and e214 Transmission. See Reports: 214 Admissions section for instructions. The e214 must be concurred and finalized, similar to other e214 transmissions.
  6. Replace Requests that confirm Temporary Deposits into Regular admissions do not require the approval of a CBP Port Officer. In this scenario, the Replace Temporary Deposit Reason Code should be selected on the “CF214 FTZ Admission” screen.
  7. When selecting additional TransportIDs to be admitted to the zone (non-TempDeposit processed in the same batch), be sure to select the next available 214 number in sequence. Do not admit other non-TempDeposit receipts on eTD 214 numbers.

Assignment: eTemp Deposit

The
ETemp Deposit
screen shows a list of previously submitted Temporary Deposits. If configured into the partner, this screen can be opened by choosing
eTempDeposit
from the
Assignment
menu or by clicking
Load from TempDeposit
on the
CF214 Assignment
screen.
To view previous eTDs:
  1. Click
    Show All Entries
    .
  2. Choose an entry from the
    Lookup
    drop-down. For instructions on how to populate the fields on this screen, please refer to the
    e214 Assignment
    section of this User Guide.
To save the manifest information:
  1. Click
    Save
    . No product information (including value or HTS) is saved for eTDs.
To save a hard copy:
  1. Click
    Generate
    . The hard copy includes “TD” in the numbering field.
To transmit the eTD to CBP for admission to your zone:
  1. Click
    Transmit ABI
    . The status will change to READY TO TRANSMIT or TRANSMITTED. Once accepted by CBP, no corrections should be transmitted for an eTD. If corrections need to be made, wait until the eTD has been converted to a regular admission (transmitted and accepted by CBP). Once this has occurred, proceed with the normal correction and Replace E214 process.
After 15 days, if no admission or a deletion of the eTD occurs, the goods are ordered to the General Order (GO). Processing of extensions is outside the system and will not be automated.
