Customs and Border Protection to Begin Enforcing Import Security Filing on July 9, 2013 Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that they will begin full enforcement of Importer Security Filing (ISF) regulations on July 9, 2013 and will start issuing liquidated damages against ISF importers and carriers for ISF non-compliance.

LATE OR INACCURATE ISF TRANSMISSIONS
CBP will assess liquidated damages in accordance with the relevant mitigation guidelines which were published in the CBP Bulletin on July 17, 2009. There can be multiple errors on an ISF transmission and in accordance with the guidelines, CBP may assess / fines a claim for liquidated damages as follows:

  • $5,000 per late ISF,
  • $5,000 per inaccurate ISF, and
  • $5,000 for the first inaccurate ISF update.

Additional Statutory Penalties may be assessed for serious or repetitive violations.

FAILURE TO FILE AN ISF
Because liquidated damages cannot be assessed for the failure to file an ISF if no bond is in place, CBP will withhold the release or transfer of the cargo until CBP receives the required ISF information and has had the opportunity to review the documentation and conduct any necessary examination. CBP also reserves the right to not permit unlading of merchandise for which no ISF has been filed, and, if such cargo is unladen without permission, it may be subject to seizure.

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS:
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2415, the statute of limitations for ISF liquidated damages is six years from the date of the breach of the bond. CBP will not limit its authority to enforce the ISF requirements.

MITIGATION GUIDELINES:
First violation: If an ISF Importer incurs a liquidated damages claim for filing a late or inaccurate ISF or an inaccurate ISF update, the liquidated damages claim may be cancelled upon payment of an amount between $1,000 and $2,000, depending on the presence of mitigating or aggravating factors, if CBP determines that law enforcement goals were not compromised by the violation.

Subsequent Violations: If an ISF Importer incurs a subsequent liquidated damages claim for filing a late or inaccurate ISF or an inaccurate ISF update, the liquidated damages claim may be cancelled upon payment of an amount not less than $2,500 if CBP determines that law enforcement goals were not compromised by the violation.

No relief will be granted if CBP determines that law enforcement goals were compromised by the violation.

ADDITIONAL MITIGATION FOR C-TPAT PARTICIPANTS:
An ISF Importer which is a certified Tier 2 or Tier 3 C-TPAT member may receive additional mitigation of up to 50% of the normal mitigation amount, depending upon tier of C-TPAT participation.

"CBP will begin the liquidated damages phase of ISF enforcement on July 9, 2013...CBP may issue liquidated damages of $5,000 per violation for the submission of an inaccurate, incomplete or untimely filing. Liquidated damages in simplified terms refer to a penalty secured by a bond. If goods for which an ISF has not been filed arrive in
the U.S., CBP may withhold the release or transfer of the cargo... Additionally, non compliant cargo could be subject to further inspection on arrival.

ISF enforcement taking effect July 9. Although answers to the few questions remaining open will be shared once the Subcommittee receives them from CBP, highlighted below are the answers received to date.

  1. Importer Security Filing enforcement begins on July 9, 2013. All ISFs filed on or after that day, must be complete, timely and accurate.
  2. For practical purposes, CBP will measure timeliness from 24 hours prior to the ship’s departure.
  3. CBP has no message about the timeliness of the ISF. The ISF filing and acceptance are in the ISF history when a filer transmits and receives the acceptance.
  4. An ISF is not an entry and does not liquidate. There is no closing of an ISF transaction. The statutory limitation for liquidated damages is six years.
  5. For ISFs using a single transaction bond, the liquidation of the entry does not close the ISF.
  6. An ISF that is timely filed, but does not immediately match the manifest is not in violation. The filer must correct the information on the ISF to match the carrier manifest before the arrival of the vessel to avoid liquidated damages. CBP will still send out non-match warnings as they do now.
  7. CBP has informally told the trade that they will take a measured approach and focus the highest priority on negligent importers that have not filed and on importers that had been filing and then stopped. However,  all violations are subject to enforcement and CBP could issue penalties where they think it is necessary.
  8. All potential ISF liquidated damages cases will be sent to CBP Headquarters for review. This will be in effect for at least the first 12 months.
  9. CBP will most probably not issue a claim for shipments that are a little bit late / missed by an importer that has consistently been compliant. PAST PERFORMANCE will be part of the review and a good record will count
  10. CBP will not allow an entry if an ISF has not been filed. (Remember the term “ISF-Jail" /  "ISF-Hold" / "Customs-Hold" ).
  11. CBP will watch for abuse of the use of an ISF without a bond for commercial shipments.
  12. A deleted ISF is not a non-file. There may be legitimate reasons to delete an ISF and replace it.
  13. There could be multiple reasons for liquidated damages penalties on a particular ISF. However, CBP has set a cap of a maximum of $10,000.00 against any one ISF.
  14. There will be no comparison between the ISF and the entry. The ISF is for targeting. If there are differences between the manifest and the ISF or if there is an exam that shows that the ISF was incorrect, then the ISF could be subject to liquidated damages.
  15. CBP will not generally consider small generic discrepancies as a violation of accuracy, for example shirts vs. blouses.
  16. CBP will take systematic problems into consideration in reviewing the cases.
  17. CBP has the expectation that importers must be 100 percent compliant. If not 100 percent compliant, importers could be exposed to liquidated damages cases.
