What is a Zone ID?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection assigns a 7-character alphanumeric Zone ID for each activated zone site, including each activated site within a subzone. The Zone ID is required for electronic submission of certain filing requirements. number assigned to the activated portion of the subzone by CBP is also shown. The Port Director has authorized the use of local control procedures for transportation within Subzone 22AE, in accordance with 19 CFR§146.66(a). Local control procedures will also be in effect for merchandise approved by the Port Director for temporary removal. Any loss of merchandise during a movement under local control procedures will be treated as if the loss occurred in the zone.  Therefore once material has been admitted to the subzone, it may be transferred without additional filings for any of the purposes under Tele-Fonika’s activity permit.  Merchandise so transferred remains continuously on Tele-Fonika’s bond until withdrawn from the subzone.  Tele-Fonika will at all times maintain location records which will allow CBP to pinpoint the site number, specific location, and zone status of merchandise in inventory.
