Foreign Trade Zones & Warehouses
October 2021 — Question 7
________________ allows for delivery of merchandise to a Foreign Trade Zone without prior application and approval on CBP Form 214.
- ATemporary deposit
- BCBP Form 7501
- CA weekly permit
- DFirst-in-first-out (FIFO)
- EDirect delivery✓ CBP's answer
Why this answer
The cited provision governs direct delivery, the procedure that lets merchandise move into a foreign trade zone without prior application to and approval by CBP on Form 214; the operator obtains direct delivery authority in advance and the admission documentation follows the arrival. Temporary deposit is the tempting distractor because it also involves placing goods in a zone before admission paperwork is complete, but it is only a short-term deposit pending the normal Form 214 admission, not an approved procedure dispensing with prior approval, and a weekly permit concerns removals of merchandise from a zone, not deliveries into it. Watch for: Confusing direct delivery with temporary deposit, which merely holds goods pending normal Form 214 admission.
