Importer
Security Filing (ISF) 10+2

Having processed several thousand containers over the years, we are proud to state that not a single shipment was flagged for non-compliance by CBP. Our customers have never paid a fine to CBP. In monetary terms, penalties could be up to $5,000 per violation.

The above statements beg the question, “What non-compliance should an importer be worried about and what is the impact?” In its efforts to thwart terrorism and smuggling, US CBP enacted ISF 10+2 in 2009. For details on ISF, click import_sf_carry_3.pdf (cbp.gov).
