is required to retain all records relating to the above-mentioned
activities for five years after the merchandise is removed from the
sub-zone. Further, the records shall be readily available for CBP
review at the sub-zone.
Instructions on compliance with these record keeping provisions are
available in the Foreign Trade Zone Manual which is accessible at:
