ISF Data Validation Process

The Importer Security Filing (ISF) Data Validation Process refers to the procedures and checks conducted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to validate the accuracy and completeness of the ISF data submitted by importers and their authorized agents. ISF, also known as the “10+2” program, requires the submission of specific data elements for cargo shipments entering the United States by ocean vessel. Data validation is crucial for ensuring compliance with customs regulations, security, and the smooth entry of cargo.
