The Importer Security Filing (ISF) program, also known as the 10+2 rule, has been implemented by US Customs and Border Protection to enhance the security of containerized cargo entering the United States. While the ISF program primarily focuses on containerized cargo, it does have implications for cargo transported via international express courier services. This is particularly relevant for certain express courier shipments, such as high-value goods or those exceeding a predefined weight limit. Compliance with the ISF program is crucial for importers utilizing international express courier services, as it helps to enhance the security of the global supply chain and prevents penalties and delays. To navigate the requirements effectively, importers often partner with customs brokerage firms, who have the expertise to ensure accurate filings and the smooth movement of goods across borders.
