On February 1, 2008,
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published
a notice in the Federal Register
extending the comment period for its proposed
"10+2" filing requirement for ocean cargo by 15
days until March 18, 2008. It is expected that
many interested parties will be filing comments
on the proposed rule.
On January 2, 2008, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a proposed rule regarding importer security filing and additional carrier requirements, also known as the "10+2" rule. The proposed rule will require that importers and carriers to submit additional information regarding cargo before the cargo is brought into the U.S. by vessel. The information must be provided 24 hours prior to loading of the cargo on the vessel and via a CBP-approved electronic data interchange system.
The proposed rule is intended to allow CBP to identify high-risk shipments to prevent smuggling and ensure cargo safety and security. The proposed regulations originate from the Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006 and the Trade Act of 2002. CBP issued a news release about the rule here.
