CSMS # 67043375 - REMINDER: US Customs and Border Protection to enforce validations related to e214 submissions

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reminds filers about the FIRMS Code, Zone ID, and Port of Entry data submitted to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) in Foreign Trade Zone Admission transactions in the Production (PROD) environment.

The validations are currently available in the Certification (CERT) environment and will be enforced in the Production Environment on December 11, 2025.

Please note that these are existing requirements as listed in the ACE FTZ CATAIR located at https://www.cbp.gov/trade/automated/catair.

Trade parties who have an ACE Secure Accounts Portal view as an FTZ Operator can verify the Zone ID, FIRMS Code, and Port Code information associated with the FTZ Sites which they operate, by logging into their ACE Portal account.

For technical questions, please contact your assigned CBP Client Representative or your local Port of Entry.

For questions about this CSMS please contact CREM@cbp.dhs.gov.
