    Abstract: Foreign trade zones (FTZs) are geographical enclaves 
located within the geographical limits of the United States but for 
tariff purposes are considered to be outside the United States. 
Imported merchandise may be brought into FTZs for storage, 
manipulation, manufacture or other processing and subsequent removal 
for exportation, consumption in the United States, or destruction. A 
company bringing goods into an FTZ has a choice of zone status 
(privileged/non-privileged foreign, domestic, or zone-restricted), 
which affects the way such goods are treated by Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) and treated for tariff purposes upon entry into the 
customs territory of the U.S.

for Foreign-Trade Zone Admission and/or Status Designation, are used by 
companies that bring merchandise into an FTZ to register the admission 
of such merchandise into FTZs and to apply for the appropriate zone 
status. CBP Form 216, Foreign-Trade Zone Activity Permit, is used by 
companies to request approval to manipulate, manufacture, exhibit, or 
destroy merchandise in an FTZ.
    These FTZ forms are authorized by 19 U.S.C. 81 and provided for by 
19 CFR 146.22, 146.32, 146.39, 146.40, 146.41, 146.44, 146.52, 146.53,
