Packing List (Value of Shipment).
In international shipping valued packing list is a substitute to commercial invoice. International shippers should not confuse a packing list (1) used for commercial
international ocean freight shipments and a Valued Packing List (2) used by origin and destination Customs in purpose to control legality of commodity and assign duty,
taxes etc (if any) on the international ocean freight shipments.
1.In commercial international ocean freight shipping, a packing list is an attachment to a commercial invoice submitted by to a commercial international shipment. This
packing list provides additional details on packing of shipped goods and may not contain value of shipped goods. Do not confuse such packing lists with fumigation
certificates.

2.Valued Packing Lists in international shipping of ocean freight, in certain cases (particularly when shipping internationally Household Goods or Personal Belongings that
are not for sale), act as substitutes to proforma commercial invoices. Valued packing lists in international shipping contain all mandatory information required to be provided
in commercial invoice, including value of each shipping unit. In U.S. related international shipments the value must be assigned in US$.

In international shipping of Household Goods and Personal Belongings using international ocean freight services, international shippers provide description of shipped
goods and assign value of each shipping unit in form of Valued Packing List. Then no commercial invoices should require on such international shipments.

However, customs in certain countries will require commercial invoices on international shipments containing Household Goods and Personal Belongings anyway. Then, in
respect of international shipping from the USA, such shipments can be declared at a time of export from U.S. in form of valued packing lists. Upon arrival to destination, at a
time of entering in destination's country commerce zone, those valued packing lists can be easily transferred into commercial invoices forms.

In respect of international shipping of seafreight from the USA, valued packing list must be in English and provide the following information:
•International shipping reference(s) related to the international shipment;
•Ports of origin and destination;
•Shippers and Consignee (Recipient) full name, address and contact information;
•Detailed description of goods being shipped;
•The quantities in weight and measures and;
•Value of each item in USD assigned by the shipper;

Customs and Border Protection to Begin Enforcing Import Security Filing on July 9, 2013
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that they will begin full enforcement of Importer Security Filing (ISF) regulations on July 9, 2013 and will start issuing
liquidated damages against ISF importers and carriers for ISF non-compliance.

LATE OR INACCURATE ISF TRANSMISSIONS
CBP will assess liquidated damages in accordance with the relevant mitigation guidelines which were published in the CBP Bulletin on July 17, 2009. There can be multiple
errors on an ISF transmission and in accordance with the guidelines, CBP may assess / fines a claim for liquidated damages as follows:

$5,000 per late ISF,
$5,000 per inaccurate ISF, and
$5,000 for the first inaccurate ISF update.

Additional Statutory Penalties may be assessed for serious or repetitive violations.

FAILURE TO FILE AN ISF
Because liquidated damages cannot be assessed for the failure to file an ISF if no bond is in place, CBP will withhold the release or transfer of the cargo until CBP receives
the required ISF information and has had the opportunity to review the documentation and conduct any necessary examination. CBP also reserves the right to not permit
unlading of merchandise for which no ISF has been filed, and, if such cargo is unladen without permission, it may be subject to seizure.

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS:
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2415, the statute of limitations for ISF liquidated damages is six years from the date of the breach of the bond. CBP will not limit its authority to enforce
the ISF requirements.

MITIGATION GUIDELINES:
First violation: If an ISF Importer incurs a liquidated damages claim for filing a late or inaccurate ISF or an inaccurate ISF update, the liquidated damages claim may be
cancelled upon payment of an amount between $1,000 and $2,000, depending on the presence of mitigating or aggravating factors, if CBP determines that law enforcement
goals were not compromised by the violation.

Subsequent Violations: If an ISF Importer incurs a subsequent liquidated damages claim for filing a late or inaccurate ISF or an inaccurate ISF update, the liquidated
damages claim may be cancelled upon payment of an amount not less than $2,500 if CBP determines that law enforcement goals were not compromised by the violation.

No relief will be granted if CBP determines that law enforcement goals were compromised by the violation.

ADDITIONAL MITIGATION FOR C-TPAT PARTICIPANTS:
An ISF Importer which is a certified Tier 2 or Tier 3 C-TPAT member may receive additional mitigation of up to 50% of the normal mitigation amount, depending upon tier of
C-TPAT participation.
