Hat tip to International Trade Law news for its post on the proposed rule requiring information on cargo shipments. Uncle Sam says:
An importer, or person causing goods to arrive within the limits of a port in the U.S. would be required under the proposed rule to submit an Importers Security Filing within 24 hours before cargo is laden abroad a vessel. The Importers Security Filing for cargo (other than foreign cargo remaining on board) must contain the following data elements:
1) Manufacturer name and address
2) Seller name and address
3) Container stuffing location
4) Consolidator name and address
5) Buyer name and address
6) Ship to name and address
7) Importer of record number
8) Consignee number
9) Country of origin of the goods
10) Commodity Harmonized Tariff Schedule number (6 digits)
