Importer Security Filing Interface [ISFI]

CBP's pending 10+2 rule will require 10 sets of data from Importers of Record or their agents 24 hours prior to vessel departure and two sets of data from carriers.

IES has a web-based solution to transmit all the required data elements to Customs for you automatically. You are assured of an error-free entry as ISFI automatically checks your filing for problems. Also, the ISFI Solution uses templates for your common entries, drastically reducing data entry time to streamline entry.

After the initial warning period, fines will be issued up to the value of the goods. According to CBP, “If the principal fails to comply with the proposed Importer Security Filing requirements, the principal and surety (jointly and severally) would pay liquidated damages equal to the value of the merchandise involved in the default”.

Using the IES ISF 10+2 Interface will ensure your compliance with the ruling. "We've been watching 10+2 for a long time," said Kevin Gavin, Vice President of Supply Chain Management in an interview with Chris Gillis, Editor of American Shipper. "We were the first ones out of the gate. IES views the upcoming regulation as an opportunity to decrease costs and overall cycle-time for its customers, while at the same time reducing errors and keystrokes within supply chain management."

Optimizing business processes to meet these requirements in the most direct, effective manner possible can improve supply chain velocity and create competitive advantage. Applying an effective 10+2 readiness strategy now is critical.
