10 + 2 Security Filing
January 7, 2008
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has finally issued the long
awaited proposed rules for the new 10+2 Filings. These rules have
been published in the federal register, and are open for comment
until March 3rd.
History:
In order to create a better means for targeting high risk shipments,
as required under the "Safe Port Act of 2006, and the Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2007", Customs has developed
the 10 + 2 Security filing.
Under
this program, Customs must receive 10+2 additional data elements
before cargo is laden on board the vessel. At this time the program
only pertains to containerized cargo. The rule does have broader
requirements for bulk and breakbulk cargo.
