This is an update to CSMS #11-000149 regarding late Importer Security Filing (ISF) submissions
Effective January 10, 2015, late ISF submissions will no longer be exempt from the bond requirement and most ISF transactions will require a bond when they are filed. To avoid delay or examination upon arrival, importers should ensure that bonds are in place to cover the ISF transaction prior to the cargo being loaded on the vessel destined for the United States.
To electronically enforce this requirement, ISF Types 5 and 6 (Late ISF-10- No Bond and Late ISF-5- No Bond, respectively) will no longer be accepted as of January 3, 2015. Updated IG documentation will be published to the CBP website shortly and has been attached to this message.
If you have any questions, please submit an email to security_filing_general@cbp.dhs.gov
