Title:e214 Validation for Type 4 Bond and Proper Reporting of FTZ Operator IOR

If a Trade filer unexpectedly receives a reject of their e214 (FT) submission with error text “NO FTZ OPERATOR BOND ON FILE FOR ZONE“, they should confirm that they are declaring the FTZ Operator's Importer of Record (IOR) Number in the FT10 header record of the e214 FT transaction, and not the Applicant for Admission's IOR Number.

The Trade software user interface screens most likely have specified input fields for both the FTZ Operator's IOR, and the Applicant for Admission's IOR. If the filer is unsure, they should contact their software vendor for clarification and direction.
