Automated Foreign
Trade Zone Program
(AFTZP)

The United States Customs Service (USCS) has approved direct electronic reporting to Census of statistical data on goods admitted into a Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ). The AFTZP is currently the only approved means of such reporting.

The Foreign Trade Division of the Census Bureau has developed standardized reporting formats for use by companies furnishing statistical data on merchandise admitted into an FTZ. Companies may provide the data via flexible diskette or direct transmission.
