TOPIC FTZ ENTRIES (ENTRY TYPE '06) AND THE AGOA/CBTPA SPECIAL
TRADE PROGRAMS.
ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES 01-0388, 01-0389, 01-0390 AND 01-0391
ESTABLISHED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AGOA (AFRICAN GROWTH AND
OPPORTUNITY ACT ) AND CBTPA (CARIBBEAN BASIN TRADE PARTNERSHIP
ACT) TRADE PROGRAMS.
THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED IN THE ABOVE ADMIN MESSAGES
APPLY TO ALL AGOA/CBTPA CLAIMS REGARDLESS OF THE VARIOUS ENTRY
TYPES THAT ARE TRANSMITTED BY THE TRADE.
A NUMBER OF INQUIRIES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED ASKING WHETHER FOREIGN
TRADE ZONE ENTRIES (ENTRY TYPE 06) REQUIRE THE COUNTRY OF
EXPORT DATA ELEMENT WHEN AN AGOA OR CBTPA CLAIM IS MADE. THE
COUNTRY OF EXPORT IS AN ESSENTIAL DATA ELEMENT WHEN DETERMINING
ELIGIBILITY TO THE AGOA/CBTPA TRADE PROGRAMS. AS A RESULT THE
COUNTRY OF EXPORT DATA ELEMENT MUST BE TRANSMITTED WHEN THE
ABOVE TRADE PROGRAMS ARE CLAIMED. ANY ABI TRANSMISSIONS FOR AN
AGOA/CBTPA CLAIM THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT
DATA ELEMENT WILL BE REJECTED BY THE ACS SYSTEM.
