La regla requiere que los importadores transmitan 10 elementos de datos a la Aduana de EE. UU. a más tardar 24 horas antes de que se cargue la carga a bordo de un buque con destino a EE. UU.
Durante el primer año, CBP/DHS supervisó la puntualidad, precisión y exhaustividad de todas las presentaciones de ISF y trabajó con cualquier declarante de ISF que no cumpliera para ayudarlo a cumplir con los nuevos requisitos.
Con el fin de brindar al comercio el tiempo suficiente para ajustarse a los nuevos requisitos y en consideración del proceso comercial, los cambios que pueden ser necesarios para lograr el pleno cumplimiento, CBP/DHS se moderarán al hacer cumplir la regla, teniendo en cuenta las dificultades que los importadores puedan tener. enfrentar en el cumplimiento de la regla, siempre que:
- los importadores están progresando satisfactoriamente hacia el cumplimiento y
- están haciendo un esfuerzo de buena fe para cumplir con la regla en la medida de su capacidad actual.
Como consecuencia ...

La parte que presentó la Presentación de seguridad del importador debe actualizar la Presentación de seguridad del importador si, después de la presentación y antes de que las mercancías lleguen dentro de los límites de un puerto en los Estados Unidos, hay cambios en la información presentada o se dispone de información más precisa.
Las presentaciones de la ISF estarán aseguradas por una fianza. En general, se aceptarán bonos continuos para presentaciones ISF.
