Mastering the ISF 10 2: Your Guide to Smooth Customs Clearance

ISF Checklist || 805-970-7918 || contact@isfchecklist.com || www.isfchecklist.com

In this episode of our customs brokerage series, we discuss the ISF 10+2 requirement, which is a crucial component of the Importer Security Filing (ISF) mandated by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The ISF 10+2 is a detailed manifest of the cargo on a vessel that must be transmitted to CBP at least 24 hours before it is loaded onto the vessel bound for the US. This filing helps CBP identify security risks and facilitates the smooth flow of cargo through ports. Accuracy and timeliness are essential when filing the ISF 10+2, and a customs broker can assist importers in navigating the process due to their expertise in customs regulations. It is important to provide complete and accurate information about the cargo, including details about the manufacturer, supplier, consolidator, and buyer, as any inaccuracies can lead to penalties or delays. Importers must also have a valid customs bond in place as part of the ISF 10+2 requirement. Staying informed about customs regulations and working closely with a customs broker can help importers comply with the ISF 10+2 requirement and avoid compliance issues and costly delays.
