CSMS# 10-000081 – FTZ Concurreence Transactions and Air Waybills

CSMS# 10-000081 – FTZ Concurreence Transactions and Air Waybills
Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:55:48 -0500

Automated Broker Interface

The ABI Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) application allows the filer to transmit concurrences for admissions using the FZ application.
Admissions containing air waybills must be concurred at the bill of lading level using Action Qualifier 2 and Action Code B.
Failure to do so will prevent the air waybill from reconciling thus generating General Order notices to the carrier.

If you have any questions, please contact your assigned Client Representative.
