ISF and ASN
ISF : Importer Security Filing
ASN : Advance Shipping Notice
ASN is an electronic version of a printed packing slip that tells the importer how a supplier has packed their items for shipment.
ASN, also tells the importer that the goods have been shipped so they can be expecting the shipment.
ASN can decrease the unloading time, expedite more accurate receiving at the warehouse, and consequently improve product turns.
What is EFT ISF+ASN
E-Freight has combined the ISF+ASN into a platformfor importers.
It’s an affordable web-based system for you to control all your international shipments.
It’s linked with the US CBP system where you can monitor your ISF Filing Activities from this platform.
Suppliers can EDI commercial invoices and packing slips to this platform to prepare the ISF and ASN.
The combined ISF+ASN information can be programmed to port into your Broker’s ABI system.

ISF General Notice from CBPISF General Notice from CBP
On July 17, 2009, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a General Notice announcing guidelines for the mitigation of liquidated damages issued as a result of improper ISF filing.
Starting from January 2010, CBP has expressed that they will offer mitigation for penalties and liquidated damages on a case-by-case basis.
There are four situations that may initiatethe issuance of liquidated damages:
1. The importers’ failure to file an ISF($10,000 / do not load/ do not unload etc)
2. A late submission ($5,000)
3. An inaccurate submission ($5,000)
4. The failure to withdraw a filing ($5000).
Liquidated Damages
CBP already records your ISF filing statistics and generate a monthly progress report.

CBP Expected ISF Filing DifficultiesCBP Expected ISF Filing Difficulties
• CBP has always expressed that they understand the impact ISF will have on the Trade and Supply Chain processes.
• They don’t expect the transition to be smooth and easy.
• This is why there is a 1-year Grace Period for Importers, as well as other members of the Trade, to “Phase – In” the ISF Requirements into their own business practices.
• What CBP does want to see is effort and an Improvement in the Error Rate. If the error rate is improving, the less likely a fine will happen if an error occurs once informed ISF Compliance begins.
