Importer Update – 10 + 2: What is it?
The ISF rule became effective January 26, 2009 and requires importers and carriers to electronically transmit shipping data prior to export for all ocean cargo, other than bulk cargo, that will be arriving at a U.S. port of entry by vessel.
Please refer to the following link for the complete rule and explanation of the required data elements:
www.cbp.gov/…ity/importer-security-filing-102
Since every company has their own distinct business operations, it is imperative that importers research the required elements with your suppliers, forwarders, and customs brokers to accumulate this data in advance and implement an ISF procedure within the prescribed time constraints. Another important factor for importers to consider is the surety bond requirements that will be necessary as part of the ISF submission. Trans-Overseas Corporation is prepared to assist our clients in developing a customized ISF process that will meet the individual needs of your company.
Importer Requirements
The final rule requires Importers or their agents to provide eight data elements, no later than 24 hours before the cargo is laden aboard a vessel destined to the United States, for shipments consisting of goods intended to be entered into the United States and goods intended to be delivered to a foreign trade zone (FTZ).

Trans-Overseas Corporation is pleased to offer to our customers the ability to submit all required ISF data elements that will also correlate with the entry summary data. We can either transmit a separate electronic filing of the ISF or in a combined transmission to include the ISF and CBP 3461 Entry. Please contact our office as soon as possible for assistance to insure your company is in compliance with the ISF requirements.

Pests like the emerald ash borer and the Asian longhorned beetle can infest the wood and be introduced into the United States. These pests can destroy millions of trees and cost billions of dollars in losses and damage control.
To protect against harmful pests like these, APHIS has adopted ISPM 15, an international standard with best practices for preventing the spread of harmful pests in wood packaging used in international trade. If you don’t follow these practices, you risk having your shipment delayed or re-exported. We work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection agricultural specialists to enforce these regulations at U.S. ports of entry…
