T e m p o r a r y / I n t e r i m   M a n u f a c t u r i n g   A u t h o r i t y Applications for temporary/interim manufacturing (T/IM) authority are generally processed within 75 days of filing by the FTZ staff. To be eligible for T/IM consideration, the activity must occur within an approved zone or subzone site, and the products and components must be similar to a recent FTZ Board approval. The T/IM Database (below), includes eligible products and components. If your specific 6-digit HTSUS is not included in the database, but your products and components fall within included 4-digit HTSUS categories, you may provide evidence that the activity is similar to the already approved activity to be eligible for T/IM. Contact the FTZ Staff for assistance in determining if you are eligible. For more information, see the T/IM Q's & A's or visit the FTZ Manufacturing Center page.
