10+2 Importer Security Filing

The Importer Security Filing (ISF), also known 10+2, is a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulation requiring importers and vessel carriers to provide advance data elements electronically to CBP for non-bulk cargo shipments in-bound into the United States by vessel. The focus of this initiative is to improve CBP's ability to recognize high-risk shipments in advance to ensure the safety of America's borders. ISF penalties are being issued for late or inaccurate filings. Importer Security Filing will be secured by a Customs bond.
