ISF (Importer’s Security Filing) 10+2 regulation Vol. 2

Dear Valued Customers and Clients

Nippon Express Co., Ltd

ISF (Importer’s Security Filing) 10+2 regulation Vol. 2

Thank you for your continued patronage with Nippon Express USA
As you may already know, the Interim Final Rule “10+2”, Importer Security Filing and Additional Carrier Requirements” was published on November 25th, 2008.
Under this new regulation, The US Customs request importers to file 10 data elements 24-hour before the cargo loaded on the vessel at origin country. Although the effective date is January 26th, 2009, we have 12-month trial period until the full implementation date, which might be January 26, 2010. During this 12-month period, no liquidated damages assessed for not meeting the nee requirements, or no “do not load” (DNL) holds for compliance issues.
Nippon Express USA Inc is now establishing system connection to file both ISF 5 and ISF 10 to comply with this new regulation. In the near future, we will request necessary information due to this new regulation. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding to this issue.

Carrier
Carrier must repot Stow Plans and Container Status Messages

It would be difficult to transmit all 10 items from one party, either shipper or consignee, therefore please make arrangement between both origin and destination parties how to collect and send the information in advance.

Frailer to file the information is a violation, along with AMS 24-hour rule, and leads to no-loading shipment on the vessel or the assessment of penalty by US Customs in the future.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact your nearest Nippon Express Local branch.
