Effective January 26, 2010, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will begin to issue penalties for non-compliance with the “10+2” security initiative. The regulation requires importers and ocean carriers to electronically submit additional data to CBP on shipments destined to the United States.
Importers are responsible for the 10 additional data elements which are: Manufacturer, Seller, Consolidator, Buyer and Ship to names and addresses, Container stuffing location, Importer and Consignee record numbers, Country of origin of goods and the Commodity Harmonized Tariff Schedule number. CBP has given importers flexibility on six of the data elements and importers should refer to the regulation for further information.
Ocean carriers will also need to provide five additional data elements for shipments consisting entirely of foreign cargo remaining on board (FROB), intended to be transported in-bond as an immediate exportation (IE), or for transportation and exportation (T&E). The 5 additional data elements are: (1) Booking party, (2) Foreign port of unloading, (3) Place of delivery, (4) Ship to Party and (5) Commodity HTSUS number. It will be necessary for shippers or importers to provide the Commodity HTSUS number when placing a booking with a carrier in order for the carrier to submit this information to CBP.
