10 + 2 = 0?
A coalition of prominent shipper associations has urged Congress to ask Customs and Border Protection (CBP to conduct a prototype program on its proposed "10 + 2 Rule" before making a final decision on its full implementation. This seems reasonable and practical.
The proposed rule requires 10 new categores of data to be collected on U.S.-bound shipments 24 hours before loading in foreign ports, and raises serious concerns for both large and small shippers sourcing goods from overseas manufacturing sites.
As the recent breakdown of the World Trade Organization negotiations in Geneva indicates, U.S. shippers are no longer ruling the global roost. Implementing this proposed rule now would only raise the cost of doing business for them when they can least afford it.
