How is CBP MEASURING TIMELINESS on the ISF Progress Reports?
The timeliness section of the ISF Progress Report is based upon the vessel departure date minus 24 hours. If a carrier has received an exemption to the 24 Hour Manifest Rule for the timing provision of the manifest data for certain cargo shipments, i.e., “exempt” break bulk, the ISF is not required until 24 hours prior to vessel arrival into the United States. At this time, CBP is not specifically measuring the timeliness of these “exempt” break bulk shipments.
