Foreign-Trade Zone operators could face problems as a result of CBP's proposed regulatory changes to allow for an electronic alternative to the Notice of Arrival that's required for some imports of pesticides and devices regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (see 1609290029), the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones said in comments to CBP (here). The problem is that FTZ entries are usually either Type 06 individual (or regular) or Type 06 weekly estimated entry types, it said. "It appears EPA may intend to require [Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)] NOA information at the time of cargo release in ACE – i.e., on entry," the NAFTZ said. "This point of transmission is too late in the importation process for FTZ filers."
