Important Trade News
Importer security filing (ISF)
What is 10+2 (ISF)
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will require all inbound containers to be fitted with high security seals starting 15 October, 2008.
Many containers shipped to US ports are already secured with high security seals; the new legislation now makes this level of security mandatory on all shipments to the US.
From October 2008, all seals will therefore have to meet or exceed the PAS ISO 17712 standard for high security seals.
From CBP.GOV: The First Sale Declaration Requirement mandates importers to declare to CBP,
at the time of entry when the transaction value of goods entered for consumption or withdrawn
from warehouse was determined on the basis of the price paid by the buyer in a sale occurring
earlier than the last sale prior to the introduction of the merchandise into the United States.
So what does this mean to you as an importer?
