It's official, beginning January 26, 2009 all shipments destined for the United States must comply with the submission of "Importer Security Filing 10+2"

Who is responsible? - Importer or it's agents

What is the Importer/agent responsible for? - Submitting ISF 10+2 information timely

Where do you send it? To Customs and Border Protection via approved electronic data interchange system

When beginning January 26, 2009

Why in an extended effort to prevent terrorist weapons from being transported to the United States

Flegenheimer International is fully prepared to act as your ISF agent in addition to your already existent Customs Broker service provider.

Nobody likes change, especially when it entails revising the way you currently do business. Submitting the ISF 10+2 elements will take just that, changing the way you currently do business in regards to notifying us of incoming shipments. Currently we process your shipments 5 days prior to vessel arriving into the US. Beginning January 26, 2009 we will need to have your shipment processed no later then 24 hours prior to your container loading the vessel at origin. This is a total 360 degree turnaround, but Flegenheimer is committed to help you fulfill your obligation to Customs and Border Protection.

Customs will require that the following information be transmitted to CBP no later than 24 hours PRIOR to container loading at the foreign port of export:
Flegenheimer will require this form to be completed and sent to us no later than 72 hrs prior to the delivery of the container(s) to the port of export. Flegenheimer will need sufficient time to submit your ISF and receive a confirmation/acknowledgment number back from Customs and Border Protection, which will then allow your containers to load the vessel.
