Who is the Foreign Principal Party in Interest (FPPI)?

A Foreign Principal Party in Interest (FPPI) is the party abroad who purchases the goods for export or to whom final delivery or end-use of the goods will be made. This party may be the Ultimate Consignee.

For personal vehicle exports, the FPPI will normally be the person who purchased the vehicle in the U.S. and is completing the export transaction as the ultimate end-use registered owner.
