January 26, 2010 ISF IMPORTER SECURITY FILING COMPLIANCE STARTS TODAY
From the current information we have received, CBP enforcement will be enacted in three stages. Beginning January 26 to April 30, 2010, CBP enforcement will focus on importers that have never filed the data, and filers that file incomplete data or don’t meet the deadline the 24 hours before a vessel sails from a foreign port.
Starting about May 2010, CPB will hold shipments of noncompliant companies, and begin additional enforcement measures and random inspections. Sometime around June, CBP will start assessing liquidated damages. If everything is on schedule, the Importer Security Filing program will be in full enforcement by year-end.

required to provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP with advance
notification for all ocean vessel shipments inbound to the United
States. This advance notification is known as the Importer
Security Filing ISF, and commonly referred to as the
ISF 10+2 Importer Security Filing Program.
What is Importer Security Filing ISF
(known
the 10+2 Program) ?
U.S. Customs and Border
Protection CBP will be
requiring an Importer
Security Filing ISF; prior to vessel loading at
foreign ports. The
Importer Security Filing
generally will consist of 10 additional data elements from U.S.
importers. In addition 2 data set items will be required from carriers.
The Importer Security Filing and additional data from carriers will
enhance CBP’s ability to identify high-risk cargo shipments.
Why is CBP requiring the 10+2 Importer
Security
Filing information?
The
ISF 10+2 Importer Security Filing regulations are specifically
intended to
fulfill the requirements of
section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port
Act of 2006 and section 343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002, as amended by
the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. The SAFE Port Act
requires the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the
Commissioner of CBP, to promulgate regulations to require the
electronic transmission of additional data elements for improved
high-risk targeting, including appropriate security elements of entry
data for cargo destined to the United States by vessel prior to loading
at foreign seaports.

10+2 IMPORTER SECURITY FILING ISF PROGRAM
The ISF 10+2 Importer Security Filing Program is to help prevent terrorist weapons from being transported to the United States and to improve CBP's ability to identify high-risk shipments so as to prevent smuggling and ensure cargo safety and security. Importers and Vessel Operating Carriers bringing cargo to the United States will be required to transmit certain information to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) about the cargo they are transporting prior to lading that cargo at foreign ports of entry.
ABOUT CBP
In March 1, 2003, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, was born as an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, merging functions of the former U.S. Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Border Patrol, and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Many changes took place in preparation for this merger and many have occurred since in order to safeguard U.S. borders against high-risk cargo, contraband, and unsafe imports.
