The Port Director has the authority to approve or deny the request and will do so based on the circumstances at their port. If the Port Director approves the request, where appropriate, the importer or their authorized filers can update the entry type from a formal entry (e.g. Entry Type 01) to a bonded warehouse entry (Entry Type 21). If the Port Director denies the request, then no changes should be made to the original entry. Importers or their authorized filers may not move detained goods suspected of being made with forced labor into a Foreign Trade Zone for storage. For questions related to submission of movement of cargo, please contact the detaining port of entry.

The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
