The new Customs & Border Protection (CBP)"10+2" regulatory regime will dramatically change the way importers conduct supply-chain logistics.

This far-reaching change in import compliance policy will require importers to ensure the filing of 10 additional data elements electronically at least 24 hours before the lading of ocean containers at the port of exit.

The new security filing regime, which will soon become a required part of daily life for many importers, represents the biggest change to affect the security environment for importers in the past few years.

The "10 + 2" proposal is a direct outgrowth of the Security and Accountability For Every Port Act, commonly known as the SAFE Port Act.

Government demands for supply-chain security information continue to grow and become more far-reaching. The “10 + 2” information requirement is the next step in this evolving data-collection environment. The new regulation will pose very significant challenges because the 10 data elements it requires differ fundamentally from previous information requirements.

Join IOMA and faculty expert Bob Imbriani, VP, International Operations at Associated Global Systems, for an in-depth look at the new security filing rule for importers. You’ll get the critical information you need to assess the impact of this new regulation on your organization.

In just 90 minutes, you’ll get answers to these questions:

• Who can file the 10 importer elements of the Security Filing?
• What are general confidentiality issues you must consider?
• Will CBP implement the Security Filing immediately?
• Who in their supply chains has access to the accurate data at the advance times envisioned by the Security Filing?
• Who in the supply chain will have responsibility for filing the data or making the data available to the party filing the data?
• Will bulk and break bulk cargo be given the same consideration for the Security Filing?
• Can "supplier" be used for "manufacturer", where the manufacturer is not known, despite a good faith effort to identify the manufacturer?
• What is the difference between container stuffing location and consolidator name and address?
• Will CBP accept the SF message through both the Automated Manifest System (AMS) as well as the Automated Broker Interface (ABI)?
• How should multiple country-of-origin, HTS numbers and manufacturers in one shipment be shown in the SF?
