10 + 2 IMPORTER SECURITY FILING

The Importer Security Filing (ISF), also known as “10+2,” requires entry information to be transmitted to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol at least 24 hours before goods are loaded onto an ocean vessel for shipment into the U.S. Beginning January 26, 2010, importers face fines of $5,000 for each late, inaccurate or incomplete filing, with a $10,000 total liability per shipment. The failure to submit an ISF will result in more severe enforcement measures, including seizure at the U.S. Port of Unlading, in addition to fines, storage fees and liquidated damages.
