The 10+2 Rule, implemented by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), requires importers to provide specific data elements about their shipments in advance. This rule enhances supply chain security and applies to goods being shipped to the United States. The 10 in 10+2 refers to the additional data elements required from the importer, including information such as the manufacturer, seller, buyer, and container stuffing location. The 2 refers to data elements that must be provided by the carrier, such as vessel stowage plans and container status messages. Streamlining data submission for importers brings benefits like early assessment of potential security risks and reduced paperwork, resulting in quicker customs clearance.

Customs bonds serve as financial guarantees ensuring payment of customs duties and other fees owed to the government. The types of bonds available include single entry bonds for infrequent importers and continuous bonds for frequent importers. Customs brokers are highly trained professionals who specialize in customs regulations and procedures. Utilizing their services can benefit importers by saving time, money, and potential compliance issues. Customs brokers handle documentation, submit customs entries, and provide expert advice throughout the customs clearance process. For the 10+2 Rule, customs brokers can assist with timely and accurate submission of required data elements to CBP.

Compliance with customs regulations is essential to avoid delays, penalties, and the seizure of goods. Working with a customs broker who understands customs rules minimizes the risk of non-compliance and ensures a smooth import process.
