As most of you already know, US Customs will begin requiring importer security filings (10+2) starting January 26th, 2009. Here is the full text version of the new requirements. In essence, the importer of record (IOR) will be held liable for transmitting the required 10+2 information to US Customs. Therefore, the importer of record should be the party filling out the ISF filing form. The importer of record can designate an agent/customs broker to file on their behalf. We should be able to offer this service starting around January 21st for shipments ETD January 26th onward. The basic help with filling out the ISF elements is as follows: Importer of Record (IOR) Name & Address: entity responsible for duties/ISF filing Importer of Record (IOR) Number (Tax ID): required to be filled out for new clients only. We will auto fill for existing clients. Importer of Record Reference (P.O./Invoice) Number: importer should use the commercial invoice number Buyer Name & Address: only fill out if other than IOR Ship To (Consignee) Name & Address: only fill out if other than IORk Manufacturer/Supplier Name & Address: manufacturer or supplier of goods Seller Name & Address only fill out if other than manufacturer/supplier Consolidator (Main Loader) Name & Address: Main loader info if consolidated cargo Container Stuffing Location Name & Address: Name and address of actual stuffing location. This may be main consolidator, manufacturer, or other name and address. AMS HBL and MBL # We will need the completed ISF form and a commercial invoice to file the 10+2 ISF filing. We will request additional information as needed to complete the country of origin and HTS# requirements. Most information can be ascertained from the commercial invoice. The ISF form will be used to confirm the information on the commercial invoice. The most important information will be the consolidator name/address and stuffing location name/address. Your freight forwarding agents overseas will have to give accurate and timely information. In order to reduce the chance of costly penalties and delays, please follow these new standard operating procedures. 1. Shipper to generate invoice and packing list as soon as goods are ready to ship. 2. Freight forwarder overseas generates HBL and/or MBL from invoice and packing list. 3. Freight forwarder overseas sends IOR the following: commercial invoice/packing list; HBL# and/or MBL#; consolidator's name/address and stuffing location's name/address. 4. IOR sends completed ISF form and a copy of the commercial invoice to LOPA Corp. Please file and sign the form 4 days before ETD, and email to nyc5@logisticspanamerica.com and cc to lopa@logisticspanamerica.com. 5. LOPA will file ISF and send notice to all parties once shipment has been cleared by USCBP to load on vessel. If ISF is processed successfully, LOPA will send you a confirmation. If not, LOPA will ask you correct information to file again. Therefore, please remember to send the form 4 days before ETD. 正如你们都已经知道，从2009年1月26日起美国海关将开始要求进口商申报安全文件（10 +2）。以下是新要求的全部文本。 从本质上讲，注册进口商（IOR）有义务向美国海关提供所需的10 +2资料。因此，注册进口商应是填写ISF申报表的责任人，但该进口商可以指定代理人/报关行代为申报。 我们（LOPA）能够于1月21日左右开始为1月26日以后上船的货物提供申报服务。 以下是有关申报ISF基本要素的说明： 注册进口商（IOR）的名称和地址：指具体承担关税和ISF申报的实体 注册进口商（IOR）号码（税务登记号）：仅要求新的客户提供，我们将自动查询现有客户的号码 注册进口商（IOR）参考号码（订单/发票）： 进口商需使用商业发票号码 买家名称和地址：仅适用于买家与IOR不同的情况，否者打钩 商品送至公司（收货人）名称和地址：仅适用于买家与IOR不同的情况，否者打钩 制造商或供应商名称和地址：制造或提供货物的公司 卖主公司名称和地址：仅适用于买家与制造商/供应商不同的情况，否者打钩 货运公司（主要装箱人/）名称和地址：提供主要装箱人的信息 装货地名称和地址：实际装货地的名称和地址。这可能是主要装箱、制造商或其它人的名称和地址 AMS HBL#和MBL#: 请提供MBL号和申报AMS的HBL号码 我们需要完整的ISF表格和商业发票以便申报10+2 ISF。我们会要求提供补充资料诸如原产地和海关编码（HTS）要求。 大多数信息可以从商业发票上获得。ISF表将用来确认商业发票上的信息。最重要的信息将是装箱人的名称/地址和装箱地的名称/地址。 为了减少昂贵的处罚和延误的机会，请遵从这些新的标准操作程序。 1. 一旦货物备妥准备出运，托运人需立即制作发票和装箱清单。 2. 货运代理根据发票和装箱单编制HBL和/或MBL。 3. 货运代理海外公司发送如下内容给IOR：商业发票/装箱单; HBL＃和/或MBL＃; 装箱人的名称/地址和装箱地的名称/地址。 4.
