Integration Point 10+2 is built upon a web-based architecture using a transactional processing design — both of which are ideal to addressing the challenges of meeting the ISF requirements and facilitating a successful filing strategy for you, the importer.
But what does it really all mean?
Enacted in November 2008, the new Importer Security Filing rule provides the US Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) with an improved way to target high-risk cargo that is trying to make its way into the US. The Importer Security Filing will assist in identifying actual cargo movements, improving accuracy of cargo descriptions, and facilitating better international trade.
Integration Point 10+2 makes the collection of the data from disparate systems and worldwide vendors easy. Plus, with a built-in workflow tool, the system manages the entire filing process from collecting the data to validating it, to the final transmission to CBP. Even if you're not fully automated in terms of receiving data from your suppliers, the Integration Point Solution can assist with a phased-in approach to data automation.
With Integration Point 10+2, importers can:
- Access the system on-demand
- Enable access for all trading partners
- Capture all data elements required of the importer by CBP
- Connect to CBP to file the ISF
- Load data from electronic files or through manual keying
- Use data entry standards to ensure consistency across all filings, even with multiple data entry points
- Receive automated notifications when work needs to be completed on a filing
- Validate all entry data to ensure that the ISF is correct prior to submitting to CBP
