10 Plus 2 Initiative - Security Filing Requirement
Overview
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is requiring additional data from U.S. importers and carriers. CBP believes the additional information will enhance the Automated Targeting System for cargo screening.
On January 2, 2008 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued the published proposed ruling called the Importer Security Filing (ISF) and Additional Carrier Requirements. The proposed ruling, commonly known as 10+2, requires both importers and carriers to submit the additional cargo information before the cargo is loaded onto an ocean vessel bound for the United States.
The Importer is required to submit 10 additional pieces of information which are: Manufacturer, Seller, Consolidator, Buyer and Ship to names and addresses, Container stuffing location, Importer and Consignee record numbers, Country of origin of goods and the Commodity Harmonized Tariff Schedule number. The Carrier will need to submit 2 additional data sets which are: Vessel Stowage Plan (or BAPLIE), and Container Status Messages.
Public comments to the proposal must be submitted by March 18, 2008 to CBP. After all the comments have been reviewed, revisions will be made and the final rule will be submitted to the Department of Homeland Security and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for final signature. CBP has yet ot identify an implementation date.
