• Importer Security Filing (“10+2”)• Intended to fulfill the requirements of the SAFE Port Act of 2006 and the

Trade Act of 2002• Requires the electronic transmission of additional data elements for

improved high-risk targetingR i i t b it l t l d t i t t• Requires carriers to submit a vessel stow plan and container status messages under certain scenarios

• Focus is on ocean cargo

Import Security Filing (ISF) or “10+2”p y g ( )The Import Security Filing, commonly known as the “10+2” initiative, is a CBP regulation that requires importers and vessel operating carriers to provide additional advance trade data to CBP pursuant to Section 203 of the SAFE Portadditional advance trade data to CBP pursuant to Section 203 of the SAFE Port Act of 2006 and section 343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002, as amended by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, for non-bulk cargo shipments arriving into the United States by vessel.arriving into the United States by vessel.

Importer Requirements:U.S. Bound Cargo (Includes FTZ and IT) : requires the electronic filing of an Importer Security Filing (ISF) comprised of 10 data elements.of an Importer Security Filing (ISF) comprised of 10 data elements.

Transit Cargo (FROB, IE and TE): requires the electronic filing of an Importer Security Filing (ISF) comprised of 5 data elements.Carrier Requirements:

Vessel Stow Plans required for arriving vessels with containers

Container Status Messages required for containers arriving via vessel



Container Status Messages required for containers arriving via vessel

Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) Technology

Use of NII technology is critical in CBP’s efforts to effectively screen arriving shipmentsy g p

Current NII inventory includes:

Large Scale NII TechnologyLarge-Scale NII TechnologyRadiation Detection TechnologySmall-Scale NII Technology

Physical inspection of cargo is required if anomalies or unresolved radiation isotopes are detected

S F i ht I iti ti (SFI) F tSecure Freight Initiative (SFI) Features

• Provides the ability to scan sea containers for radiological and nuclear materials at foreign seaports

• Builds upon existing security measures

• Provides a more comprehensive assessment of risk

• By July 2012, 100% of U.S. bound containers must be scanned by a non-intrusive imaging system and radiation portal monitornon intrusive imaging system and radiation portal monitor

• CBP will focus initial deployments of SFI scanning/imaging operations to a limited number of strategic locations where the ddi i l d ld h b fi i l dadditional scan data would prove the most beneficial towards

enhancing CBP targeting for high-risk maritime cargo. This strategy is consistent with CBP’s risk-based, layered approach to securing maritime containerized cargo



maritime containerized cargo.

S F i ht I iti ti (SFI) F tSecure Freight Initiative (SFI) Features

• As of October 12th, 2007, CBP met the SAFE Port Act pilot requirement. SFI is fully operational and is currently scanning 100% of U.S. bound containers laden in Port Qasim, Pakistan; Puerto Cortes, Honduras; and Southampton, U.K.

• CBP has also deployed SFI operations on a limited basis to three additional locations; in Hong Kong, (from January–April, 2009), Oman, and South Korea. CBP chose to partner with these ports because they p p ypose different challenges and provide diverse environments in which to evaluate various options, such as high volume and transshipments.
