What the ISF is
The Importer Security Filing, often called 10+2, applies to ocean cargo coming into the United States. The importer supplies ten data elements, such as the seller, buyer, manufacturer, ship-to party, country of origin, HTS numbers, and the container stuffing location. The carrier supplies two more.
CBP can assess liquidated damages of up to $5,000 per violation for late, inaccurate, or missing filings, and a missing ISF can lead to holds on the cargo.
Why it goes smoothly when we run the freight
Most ISF problems come from data nobody collected in time: the stuffing location, the consolidator, the manufacturer address. Because our team in China books the freight and consolidates the cargo, we hold that information before loading and file it ourselves.
- Filed at least 24 hours before loading at the foreign port
- Amended when the plan changes, before the vessel departs
- Bond coverage confirmed for ISF
- Matched to your entry so the data agrees end to end
Built for businesses that import on a schedule
We work with brands, Amazon sellers, e-commerce and online store owners, wholesalers, retailers, and manufacturers that bring in shipments regularly, most often from China. Any product category works, as long as it is physical commercial goods. That is where our door-to-door service pays off: we plan the freight, clear customs, and deliver, shipment after shipment.
