Person of Record

The person, firm, or corporation in whose name the Application to Admit Merchandise into the FTZ (CF 214) is made, recognized by the Grantee, Operator and Customs as having the legal right to make the application. Evidence of this right of the applicant is the same as would be required to establish the right to apply for release of the merchandise from Customs custody at the end of its transit through the U.S. Customs territory. Such evidence usually consists of an original bill of lading in the name of the applicant, an original bill of lading endorsed to the applicant, a carrier’s certificate, or a copy of Power of Attorney when parties other than the owner are conducting business, such as, a Customhouse broker, company or corporate official, etc.
