In this video, we explore the 10+2 ISF filing rule and its significance in supply chain integrity. The ISF filing rule, required by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), is designed to enhance security and risk assessment by obtaining advance cargo information. The 10 refers to the ten data elements provided by the importer or their agent, while the 2 refers to the two additional data elements filed by the carrier or their agent. It is the responsibility of the importer or their customs broker to ensure accurate and timely filing. Additionally, customs bonds are important financial guarantees that ensure compliance with regulations. The ISF filing rule acts as a preventive measure, allowing CBP to identify potential security threats and promote compliance and transparency in the supply chain.
