As part of the ongoing efforts by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to improve security and transparency, importers and carriers bringing cargo into the U.S. on maritime vessels will now have to provide additional data to CBP.

Called ISF, this rule requires carriers to provide two additional data sets and importers to file ten additional data sets. The new importer transmission, called the Importer Security Filing (ISF), is separate from the carrier's manifest and the broker's entry.

The importer is now responsible to contact CBP 24 hours prior to the vessel being loaded with the required ISF data elements before the vessel is loaded at port of origin.
