Importer Security Filing (ISF)

The Importer Security Filing, or the 10+2 rule, requires the following information be submitted to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol in the U.S. 24 hours prior to loading a container on a vessel at a foreign port. This rule is applicable to all HHE and AUTO shipments via Surface and does not apply to Air Freight shipments. All cargo destined for the U.S., must have the ISF filled with U.S. Customs prior to loading the vessel at the foreign port.

Enclosed, you will find our Importer Security Filing 10+2 Form. Please complete this form and return to your Universal Relocations Move Manger no later than the shipment’s origin residence load date to ensure you are compliant. Any penalties due to the tardiness of these documents will be your responsibility. Fines range from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum of $25,000.

Should you choose to file your own ISF, we require a copy of the completed ISF to finalize the U.S. Customs entry. Please provide this to us along with the required customs documents, visa and passport.

Enforcement of ISF - Penalties:

For all shipments sailing from overseas ports, full penalties will be assessed. Examples of penalties could be assessed as follows:

• Up to $5,000 for a single error found on your paperwork
• Up to $5,000 for failure to file a correct report on a timely basis
• Up to $10,000 or more for late filings, incorrect B/L number and incorrect sail date for a single shipment

·         As noted above, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol will begin issuing penalty assessments of up to $5,000 per error or failure to file a correct report in a timely manner. These fines can be issued for multiple penalties on the same booking. For example, a shipment filed late, with the incorrect bill of lading number and incorrect sailing date could have a penalty of $10,000 for this single shipment Currently, the total penalty is not capped.

Common Errors:

Missing or incorrect destination address. The address listed on the ISF form for final delivery must be the same address as provided to the Ocean Carrier and the same as the client lists on the 3299 Supplemental Declaration. We can update this after sailing, but it must be completed 24 hours prior to arrival in first U.S. port of call. Customs could issue two fines up to $10,000 for a late update or lack of destination address.

No passport number. Although we can submit the report without a passport number, this must be received and updated prior to the shipment arriving in the first U.S. port of call. Customs could issue two fines up to $10,000, due to no passport number and mismatch of name.

Client's name on the bill of lading is different from the name and passport number listed on the ISF. While we are responsible for filing this information, the category of the shipment may change in the eyes of the customs inspector from used household goods to a transfer of ownership as a commodity. The change of status may change the ability to enter the goods duty free. This could result in a fine of up to $10,000.

ISF Form submitted to Universal Relocations without the ocean carrier name or SCAC code. Though we can submit initially with another carrier, this must be received and updated prior to the shipment arriving in the first U.S. port of call. A carrier mismatch to B/L may occur preventing acceptance of the ISF report. Since multiple errors would occur, customs could reject the report and deny entry into the US with penalties of up to $10,000.

Bioterrorism Act

Please be advised that under the Bioterrorism Act the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued
a regulation that requires the submission to FDA of prior notice of food, including animal feed, that is imported or offered for import into the United States. Please be advised that including food, alcohol or spices is NOT recommended in shipments. Including these items in the shipment will result in delayed customs clearances or possible confiscation. To learn more regarding this policy, visit the FDA’s website.

If food or alcohol must be included in the shipment, please make sure that you check with our office in advance. All lists of food & alcohol should include the manufacturer's name and address with postal code. Customs will reject the entry if all of their requested information is not provided. The customer will be responsible for filing the prior notice directly online with the information required. It may be possible to have a U.S. Customs broker file this on behalf of your customer; however, there are additional charges as most brokers charge per line item.

All wood packing materials (lift vans, crates, etc.) coming into the United States must be treated and marked.

Please note that the goods do not have to depart or arrive directly from California to be affected by this rule. The Clean Truck Act will apply if shipment arriving to West Coast ports are destined to the East Coast via rail.

The ISF requires the following information be submitted to the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol in the United States 24 hours PROIR TO LOADING a container on a vessel at a foreign port.
