American Line ISF&AMS
Starting from May 14, 2015, the U.S. Customs has entered a new phase for the full implementation of ISF (Importer Security Filing, 10+2). At that time, all ISF fines will be determined by Customs at each port of clearance, without copying the General Administration of Customs for review and approval. In addition, ports will not need three warnings before issuing fines. At the same time, the ports still have some flexibility in the specific implementation process.

From May 14, 2015, the U.S. Customs on the full implementation of ISF (Importer Security Filing, 10+2) into a new phase. At that time, all ISF fines will be determined by Customs at each port of clearance, and will not need to be copied to the General Administration of Customs for review and approval. In addition, ports will not need three warnings before issuing fines.
At the same time, the ports still have some flexibility in the specific implementation process. For example, in Los Angeles, if the goods in the ETA 4 days before the AMS system or did not receive ISF matching information, the Customs will put a HOLD ON status (generally ISF get S1, the Customs will release the goods). However, while executing a Place Hold on the shipment, Los Angeles Customs will issue a ticket to the importer for continued late reporting. Some ports of entry may still be warning-based, while others will issue tickets immediately.
Science: What is ISF?
Anyone in the industry who exports to the U.S. knows that they need to send an AMS data to them. And from 2009-1-26 onwards, all goods going to the U.S. need to submit a new 10+2 declaration under the premise of submitting AMS.
AMS is also called 24-hour manifest forecast, also called the U.S. Customs anti-terrorism manifest. AMS information is through the use of the U.S. Customs designated system sent directly to the U.S. Customs database, by the U.S. Customs system automatically check and reply to the time when you need to send the details of the goods to send it over, including the destination port of the gross weight and volume of pieces of goods name of the box number of the shipowner real consignee/consignor (FORWARDER does not count). FORWARDER does not count) and the corresponding code number and so on. Waiting for the U.S. side said acceptance to ship, such as HB/L, then both copies should be sent. Otherwise, the goods will not be able to ship.
10+2 declaration, actually a common name for ISF declaration. That is, Importer Security Filing (Importer Security Filing) and the additional requirements of the carrier, the U.S. importer (10 declarations) and the shipping company (2 declarations), must be in the goods loaded on board the ship before the twenty-four hours through the AMS or ABI system will be sent to the U.S. Customs electronic declaration data. In terms of ISF declaration operation, importers can appoint their trusted overseas agents to make declaration on their behalf.
As for the difference between ISF and AMS declaration, simple distinction is: AMS declaration, mainly bill of lading information, freight forwarders in the declaration of more control. While ISF declaration is mainly the entity unit in the supply chain, part of the information in the buyer, part of the information in the seller, how to effectively integrate this information, the beginning of the period is more difficult. If the freight forwarder helps to declare ISF, the relevant information must be collected when the cargo is booked. If the importer declares by himself, he must communicate with the seller to get some information when declaring.
