Title: Importer Security Filing and Additional Carrier Requirements
Abstract: On November 25, 2008, CBP published an interim final rule to implement the provision of section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006. The rule requires carriers to submit a vessel stow plan and container status messages under certain scenarios where cargo containers are destined for the United States. The rule also requires importers or their agents to submit an Importer Security Filing (ISF) with eight data elements, no later than 24 hours before the cargo is laden at the foreign port and two data elements, no later than 24 hours prior to arrival in the United States. The interim final rule included a delayed compliance date for affected importers and carriers by 12 months after date of publication. CBP is conducting a review, through June 1, 2009, to determine any specific compliance difficulties that importers and shippers may experience in submitting all ten data elements 24 hours before lading Written comments may be submitted on or before June 1, 2009, concerning the data elements for which some type of flexibility has been provided. Based on the structured review and public comment periods, CBP will conduct an analysis of the elements subject to flexibility and issue a final rule to eliminate, modify, or maintain these requirements.
