Importer Security Filing for Carnets

A quick blurb on Importer Security Filing for Carnets

As of January 26th, 2009, if you have goods moving by ocean transport on a future carnet, or goods returning to the US on an already-issued carnet, you are required to make an Importer Security Filing prior to re-import into the U.S. The Importer Security Filing (ISF aka 10+2) requires certain shipment data to be provided to CBP 24 hours prior to the goods being loaded on the ship departing the overseas port and bound for the U.S.*

Using the ISF Direct-Filing module will allow carnet holders to provide the required information directly to CBP for a modest fee, without using the services of an agent, Freight Forwarder or, Customs House Broker.
