ISF 10+2, or Importer Security Filing, is a mandatory requirement introduced by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all shipments entering the United States by vessel. The purpose of ISF 10+2 is to provide detailed information about the cargo to CBP in order to assess potential security risks. By submitting accurate and timely ISF 10+2 filings, importers can help CBP make informed decisions and reduce potential delays and penalties. Collaboration between importers and carriers is essential for ISF 10+2 filing, as carriers are responsible for transmitting critical shipment information to CBP. Importers must ensure that their ISF 10+2 filings are submitted no later than 24 hours prior to cargo being loaded onto the vessel in the foreign port. Late or inaccurate filings can result in significant penalties and delays. Elements of ISF 10+2 filing include providing information such as the bill of lading number, container stuffing location, consolidator, ship-to party, and the name and address of the party responsible for filing the ISF. Non-compliance with ISF 10+2 filing can lead to consequences such as monetary penalties, cargo holds, and refusal of entry into the United States. Importers must understand and meet all necessary ISF requirements to avoid complications.
