ISF (10+2) News
There are less than 3 months left before full enforcement of the ISF (10+2) rule begins on January 26, 2010.
It is important to remember that this has been a Customs requirement since January 26, 2009 and that Customs has allowed full enforcement, including the issuing of penalties and damages, to be delayed for one year.
The best way to be ready for January 26, 2010 and full enforcement of this rule is to use the current flexible enforcement period to fine tune the process of gathering the required elements and transmitting them to Customs.
Customs updated the ISF FAQ in early October. The current version includes updated information pertaining to penalties and applicable mitigating/aggravating factors and to the waiver of bond requirements for household goods/personal effects, government and Military, diplomatic, Carnets, and international mail.
You can link to the full FAQ and other ISF information from the AIT website:

For CTPAT participants who wish to receive ISF progress reports directly from CBP, per Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) message #09-000336, CBP is still accepting registration for ISF Progress Reports.
ISF Filers and C-TPAT Tier 2 and 3 importers are eligible. Requests for report should be sent to: Progress_Report@cbp.dhs.gov.

Export "Red Flags"
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has devised a list of possible "red flags" that could alert an exporter to a foreign entity attempting to acquire high technology and munition items.
Some of the indicators include:
- A customer willing to pay a high value in cash;
- A customer reluctant to provide end-use or end-user information;
- A customer that appears to be unfamiliar with the product;
- An order that is being shipped via a circuitous or economically illogical routing.
