Archivo de seguridad del importador 10+2 (ISF)

La presentación de seguridad, comúnmente conocida como la iniciativa "10+2", es una nueva regulación de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) que requiere que los importadores y los transportistas que operan embarcaciones proporcionen datos comerciales anticipados adicionales a Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza/Departamento de Seguridad Nacional ( CBP/DHS).

Leschaco, Inc. ya tiene la solución de TI para manejar la transmisión EDI según lo exigen las agencias gubernamentales de EE. UU. Para obtener información sobre este servicio, comuníquese con su representante local de Leschaco.

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:

  1. los importadores están progresando satisfactoriamente hacia el cumplimiento y
  2. están haciendo un esfuerzo de buena fe para cumplir con la regla en la medida de su capacidad actual.

Como consecuencia ...
No se evaluaron daños liquidados por no cumplir con los nuevos requisitos
Sin retenciones de "no cargar" (DNL) por problemas de cumplimiento
Requisitos del Importador: Carga Regular (Incluye Zona Franca y embarque en Tránsito): requiere la presentación electrónica de una Ficha de Seguridad del Importador (ISF) compuesta por los siguientes 10 elementos de datos:

  1. Importador de número de registro
  2. Número de consignatario
  3. Nombre/dirección del vendedor (propietario)
  4. Nombre/dirección del comprador (propietario)
  5. Enviar a nombre/dirección de la parte
  6. Nombre/dirección del fabricante (proveedor)
  7. País de origen
  8. Mercancía HTS-6
  9. Lugar de relleno de contenedores
  10. Nombre/dirección del consolidador

Requisitos del transportista:

  1. Planos de estiba del buque necesarios para los buques que llegan con contenedores
  2. Mensajes de estado del contenedor requeridos para los contenedores que llegan por barco

La parte obligada a presentar el Importer Security Filing (ISF) es la parte que hace que las mercancías ingresen a los límites de un puerto en los Estados Unidos. Esta parte se conoce como el “Importador ISF”.
El Importador ISF, como decisión comercial, puede designar un agente autorizado para presentar la Declaración de seguridad del importador en nombre del Importador ISF.

Si se utiliza un Agente para fines ISF, se requiere un poder notarial (POA). Además, el Agente debe tener acceso a los sistemas aprobados, como el Sistema de Manifiesto Automatizado (AMS) del buque o la Interfaz de Agente Automatizado (ABI).
Un importador puede ser un declarante o puede optar por utilizar un agente.
Todas las presentaciones de ISF deben realizarse electrónicamente a través del Sistema de manifiesto automatizado (AMS) del buque o la Interfaz de corredor automatizada (ABI).
No se permitirán formularios en papel.
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.
Una vez que finaliza oficialmente el período de cumplimiento informado, el Importador ISF está obligado a proporcionar una presentación completa, precisa y oportuna o arriesgarse a recibir daños y perjuicios por un monto de $ 5,000.

Si no se realiza la presentación, el Transportista (líneas navieras) recibirá el siguiente mensaje: No hay retenciones de "no cargar" (DNL) por problemas de cumplimiento.
