Permit to Transfer (PTT) It is the responsibility of the filer to initiate the PTT to transfer goods to the zone. This can be done as part of the regular admission process (non-Direct Delivery) when submitting an admission via the FT message set, or as a standalone transaction with the FZ message set. For eligible shipments that are destined for a FTZ site that has been granted Direct Delivery privileges, the filer may submit the PTT prior to submission of the admission via the FZ message set. Once the PTT has been authorized, a ‘PTT MESSAGE DATA ACCEPTED’ will be sent to the FTZ and the party in possession of the cargo (either the Carrier or a Deconsolidator/CFS) will receive authorization to allow the cargo to move to the FTZ. In the Air environment, if the cargo is moving from the Carrier to a Deconsolidator/CFS prior to movement to the FTZ, the Deconsolidator/CFS must arrive the local transfer at the master level prior to the submission of the PTT by the FTZ. Failure to do so will result in the notification of the movement authorization routing to the Carrier and not the Deconsolidator/CFS.
