SEARIDERS NOW OFFERS ORIGIN TO DOOR IMPORT SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH 10+2
The “Safe Port Act of 2006” was passed by Congress in October of 2006 to enhance national security in our ports while protecting the economic vitality of the United states.
The ruling requires importers or their designated agents to file “10” types of data elements 24 hours prior to vessel loading overseas. The importer is ultimately the responsible party for this transaction. Additionally, other requirements concerning the manufacturer, container stuffing location and company names may be difficult to obtain. The HTS number is also required.
It appears that complying with this regulation also requires that the supplier prepare the commercial invoice 5 to 15 days earlier than what has been done in the past.
Most importers are still in the dark as to what to do or what is required to get these security filings done while maintaining their supply chain intact.
We at Seariders Brokerage Corporation have been watching this situation and will be in position to act as your “designated agent” and will provide most of the required filing information based upon information supplied by you.. There will have to be some changes but we believe they can be handled cooperatively in a manner to minimize problems and in compliance with the new regulations.
Remember, this is not optional. All importers have to comply.
JANUARY 26,2010 WAS THE DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION !

Seariders Brokerage Corporation will be available to make that compliance as painless as possible.
