15 CFR Part 30 

[Docket Number: 241010–0268] 

RIN: 0607–AA62 

Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): 

Clarification of Filing Requirements 

Regarding In-Transit Shipments and 

Other FTR Provisions 

AGENCY: Census Bureau, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census 

(Census Bureau) proposes to amend its 

regulations to clarify the requirements 

governing in-transit shipments from 

foreign countries through the United 

States that are subsequently exported to 

a foreign destination. This rulemaking 

proposes to clarify who is the U.S. 

Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) and 

revise the entry number description 

when goods are entered into the United 

States for consumption or warehousing, 

and then stored in a warehouse or 

storage facility or admitted into a 

Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) before being 

exported. This rule also proposes to 

clarify that when a customs broker is the 

USPPI and they are requested to provide 

information from the customs entry for 

the filing of the Electronic Export 

Information (EEI), that they obtain 

consent from their client, as required in 

the customs regulations. Additionally, 

this proposed rule revises several 

sections, including definitions, 

mandatory filing requirements, 

responsibilities of parties to the export 

transaction, confidentiality, penalties, 

and voluntary self-disclosures to ensure 

clarity, accuracy, and consistency 

throughout the FTR. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before December 30, 

2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. The identification 

number for this rulemaking is identified 

by RIN number 0607–AA62; or 

• By email directly to 

gtmd.ftrnotices@census.gov. Include 

RIN number 0607–AA62 in the subject 

line. 

All comments received are part of the 

public record. No comments will be 

posted to http://www.regulations.gov for 

public viewing until after the comment 

period has closed. Comments will 

generally be posted without change. All 

Personally Identifiable Information (for 

example, name and address) voluntarily 

submitted by the commenter may be 

publicly accessible. Do not submit 

confidential business information or 

otherwise sensitive or protected 

information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Census Bureau, as delegated to it 

by the Secretary of Commerce, is 

responsible for collecting, compiling, 

and publishing import and export trade 

statistics for the United States under the 

provisions of Title 13, United States 

Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 9, Section 301(a). 

Under Title 13 U.S.C. 302, the Secretary 

of Commerce is authorized to 

promulgate regulations deemed by the 

Secretary to be necessary or appropriate 

and in such form or manner as the 

Secretary determines are necessary or 

proper to carry out the purposes of and 

prevent the circumvention of the 

requirements of Chapter 9 of Title 13. 

The Secretary also may promulgate 

regulations covering the confidentiality, 

publication, and disclosure of 

information collected under Chapter 9. 

The Secretary developed the Automated 

Export System (AES), consistent with 

Public Law 106–113 and considering 

the confidentiality requirements of 

Chapter 9 of Title 13, to collect EEI in 

concert with the export control and 

enforcement functions of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection and Immigration 

and Customs Enforcement of the 

Department of Homeland Security, the 

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of 

the Department of Commerce, and the 

Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of 

the Department of State. Public Law 

107–228 directed the Secretary to 

publish regulations requiring exporters 

to file Shippers’ Export Declarations, 

now referenced as EEI, in the AES. As 

a result, the Census Bureau is 

responsible for publishing the FTR that 

set the export reporting requirements for 

preparing and filing the EEI in the 

Automated Export System (AES). The 

EEI is made up of mandatory, 

conditional, and optional data elements. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

revise the FTR to define the USPPI and 

revise the description of the entry 

number when goods enter the United 

States for consumption or warehousing, 

and then stored in a warehouse or 

storage facility or admitted into a FTZ 

before being exported. The Census 

Bureau has experienced an increase in 

the number of inquiries regarding export 

transactions where a customs broker 

enters goods into the United States for 

consumption or warehousing, and then 

stored in a warehouse or storage facility 

or admitted into a FTZ before being 

exported. 

In this proposed rule we are 

expanding the scenarios of the USPPI 

for goods that enter into the United 

States for consumption or warehousing, 

and then stored in a warehouse or 

storage facility or admitted into a FTZ 

before being exported. The current FTR 

30.3(b)(2)(iv) and (v) allow the customs 

broker to be the USPPI when the 

customs broker or a foreign person is 

listed as the importer of record, 

respectively. However, this may no 

longer be practical when goods have 

been stored in warehouses, storage 

facilities, or FTZ for an extended period 

of time after entry. In many cases, 

additional parties other than the 

customs broker have knowledge and 

control of the goods for weeks, months 

or years and possess the goods in 

warehouses, storage facilities, or FTZs. 

Therefore, the Census Bureau is 

proposing the warehouse, storage 

facility or FTZ be considered the USPPI 

in these scenarios based on knowledge 

and control of the goods destined to be 

exported. Additionally, when the 

customs broker is the USPPI, it must 

obtain consent from its client to share 

information from the import entry that 

supports the preparation and filing of 

the EEI in the AES. The Census Bureau 

proposes to revise the conditional data 

element entry number description to 

require the entry number when foreign 

origin goods are entered into the United 

States for consumption or warehousing, 

and then stored in a warehouse or 

storage facility or admitted into a FTZ 

before being exported. The Census 

Bureau has evaluated the entry number 

on the EEI, as suggested in a comment 

from the trade community to the NPRM 

for the Country of Origin (COO) titled 

Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): New 

Filing Requirement and Clarifications to 

Current Requirements (RIN: 0607– 

AA59), published December 15, 2021 

and has determined that the entry 

number will provide the Census Bureau
