Huntington Beach, California - July 25, 2009 - Freightgate, a global industry leader in Web 2.0 technology supply chain software solutions, today announced that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has published Penalty Mitigation Guidelines for ISF 10+2 Importer Security Filing Program.
On July 17, 2009, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published in its CBP Bulletin mitigation guidelines for the Importer Security Filing ISF 10+2 program. According to the guidelines, there are potentially three situations for which liquidated damages may be issued:
- Inaccurate submission of an ISF: CBP will issue a liquidated damages case in the amount of $5,000.
- Late submission of an ISF: CBP will issue a liquidated damages case in the amount of $5,000.
- Failure to withdraw an ISF: CBP will issue a liquidated damages case in the amount of $5,000.
No liquidated damages will be assessed for the failure to file an ISF if no bond is in place. CBP will withhold the release or transfer of goods for which no ISF has been filed until all ISF information is received. CBP will also reserve the right to limit the permit to unlade goods for which no ISF has been filed and, if unladen, those goods may be subject to seizure. The mitigation guidelines become effective July 17, 2009.
