Various representatives from the surety and customs broker community held a conference call with U.S. Customs and Border Protection on June 5, 2015, to discuss ongoing matters related to ISF. On that call we learned that CBP has delayed the planned May 14 implementation of full enforcement and continues to operate under the “three strikes” procedures. CBP headquarters staff continues to review the “full enforcement” procedures and CBP will formally announce when this phase begins by issuing a CSMS notice.

Should you have any questions on the above, we invite you to contact your Roanoke Trade Bond Representative, call us at 1-800-ROANOKE (800-762-6653) or send us an email at infospot@roanokegroup.com.
