On January 26, new cargo security requirements on ocean cargo, referred to as “10+2″, will take effect in an effort to enhance US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) ability to identify high-risk cargo shipments. 10+2, under the direction of US Department of Homeland Security, will require an Importer Security Filing (ISF) prior to a vessel loading at foreign ports. This ISF will consist of 10 additional data elements from US importers plus 2 data set items required from carriers.
As you might expect, this ruling will impact the entire industry, as most protective gloves and clothing are now imported.
