SCARBROUGH NEWS The 10+2 Security Initiative US Customs and Border Protection has been working to increase the amount of information gathered at foreign ports of lading for freight departing for the U.S. This proposal is known as “10+2”. “10+2” is defined as CBP considering 10 data elements that importers or their agents would be required to provide before a vessel could depart a foreign port, and two additional data elements that would be required from vessel operators. CBP believes the additional information will enhance the screening capabilities of the Automated Targeting System. CBP wants the importer to designate an agent to complete and file the 10 additional elements. The additional elements consist of:
The current proposal only targets ocean freight although CBP plans to expand to other modes of transportation. According to CBP.gov, customs does not plan on implementing this immediately, saying it will follow the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) process. After the final rule is published, the security filing should go through a 9-12 month period in which they will work closely with the members of trade to ensure the security filings are done correctly. -- Aaron Wepler, Import Freight Forwarding Customer Service Representative |
