The following is from a report schema.
<CustomRetrievalField>
<FieldRef levelType="ShipmentHeader" category="PDF">
<FieldName>ActualPickup</FieldName>
</FieldRef>
<Hidden>true</Hidden>
<Type>DATE</Type>
<TimezoneHandling>
<ValueBased>true</ValueBased>
</TimezoneHandling>
<SimpleMapping sqlName="ACTUAL_PICKUP_DATE"/>
<Timezone sqlName="shipfrom_tz" fallbackTz="user_profile"/>
</CustomRetrievalField>
Questions are:
1.Tag <TimezoneHandling> seems not defined in Platform User's Guide (Neo 3.3) any where. Is this tag necessary since tag <Timezone> exists already? what does it do?
2. Where is the location where user_profile timezone id is defined?

Looks like TimezoneHandling is an older xml element which is rarely used. I think since you have Timezone defined later, you can/should remove TimezoneHandling.
The user profile TZ comes from whatever that user has configured as their preferred timezone. In java, this manifests as com.transcendsys.platform.web.profile.UserProfile.getTimeZone()
In the database, it is stored in USERS.PREF_PROP_LIST
