Descartes Helps MOL Logistics with 10+2

Global freight forwarder MOL Logistics selected Descartes' Global Logistics Network to help it comply with the United States Customs and Border Protection's new Importer Security Filing "10+2" initiative.

In November, CBP released its interim final rule on ISF, which requires the collection of 10 new data elements from importers or their agents and 2 message sets from the ocean carriers for ocean shipments inbound to the United States.

The Descartes ISF service helps organizations manage legally required information in a small window of time by leveraging their existing technology and data sources with a single point of contact for data connectivity.

"As a leader in global customs filing, Descartes has proven to be a reliable and efficient supplier that provides us with services to easily electronically manage shipment information and comply with CBP electronic submission requirements for customs filings,” said Scott Larson, corporate compliance manager of MOL Logistics.
