CBP began a voluntary test in 2005 of the Electronic FTZ Admission Application Program for merchandise reported to CBP via air, sea, and rail manifest, which permits a participant to submit an e214 to CBP via the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) of the Automated Commercial System (ACS) (see 05082205).
