# Time Zones
The Bulk API supports loading data to time zone fields such as the time zone in a user record or the time zone for a location OU. You can either use the three letter abbreviated time zone code or the integer time zone ID in your payload. The schema endpoint provides a list of valid time zone codes and IDs. If you choose to use the time zone code, note that certain codes are ambiguous. For example the code 'PST' can refer to either '(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)' or '(UTC-08:00) Baja California'. In such cases, it's best to use the time zone ID. If you send one of the ambiguous time zone codes in your payload to the import endpoint, the load report will have the following error against the relevant records: Invalid format. Time zone code provided is ambiguous. Please use time zone ID instead. Refer to the template guide for a list of valid time zone IDs.
The table below provides a mapping of the time zone IDs to the time zone codes.
