The trade community is directly impacted by CBP’s importer security filing (ISF, also known as 10+2) requirements. ATA Carnet shipments are no exception, as ATA Carnets are not exempt from ISF. However, ATA Carnet shipments are exempt from posting the bond required of other shipments entering or re-entering the U.S. via ocean vessel. Except for the provision of the six digit HTSUS codes, the information needed to complete the ISF can be found on the ATA Carnet or available from the customs broker clearing the entry. CBP has modified its system to accommodate ATA Carnet entries whether they are a […]
