CBP provided some advice in a CSMS message to air carriers for transferring cargo to a foreign trade zone (FTZ). When cargo is "transferred by the Air Carrier to a DeconsolidatorCFS destined to a [FTZ], the DeconsolidatorCFS must arrive the local transfer from the Air Carrier at the Master Bill Level," said CBP. "The arrival must be transmitted prior to the Electronic Permit To Transfer (EPTT) requested by the [FTZ]. Failure to arrive the local transfer at the Master Bill Level will result in the routing of the local transfer authorization (1F) message for the EPTT requested by the [FTZ] to the Air Carrier and not the DeconsolidatorCFS."
