US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) created the Importer Security Filing (ISF, also known as Customs 10+2) as a means to identify high-risk inbound containers. This program requires importers to file multiple data elements in advance of the goods being loaded onto a vessel headed for the United States. The ISF has shifted accountability to importers and requires more control over activities at origin as well as prior to arrival in the US. If not properly managed, importers face serious fines for non-compliance.
The most difficult challenge for many organizations is the collection of data across their supply chain. Amber Road's Customs 10+2 module automates compliance with the preparation and submission of all ISF data elements directly to CBP or to your designated agent. Amber Road's global trade management (GTM) solutions help automate global operations and manage increasingly restrictive government regulations like ISF.
