INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE

10+2 TEMPLATE

The template is designed to make it easy for origin to supply the 10+2 data to the destination EMO office. The template lists those items that are required to be filed no later than 24 hours before the shipment is loaded on the vessel. In addition to the template information, we must have the COMMERCIAL INVOICE so that the destination EMO office can classify the invoice with the proper HTS number.

THE TEMPLATE AND THE COMMERCIAL INVOICE MUST BE SENT BY THE ORIGIN OFFICE TO THE DESTINATION EMO TRANS OFFICE AT LEAST 72 HOURS BEFORE THE SHIPMENT LOADS ON THE VESSEL

1. The master and the house bill of lading numbers as filed through the AMS Advanced Manifest filing are required. US Customs will use these numbers to match the 10+2 data with the AMS filing
2. The seller, buyer manufacturer ship to party and country of origin information is required to be filed no later than 24 hours before loading.
3. The consignee Federal Identification number is required from origin on DDP shipments where the shipper is the importer of record.
4. The Container stuffing location and the container stuffer can be filed 24 hours before loading but if this information is not available at that time then filing may be delayed until anytime between loading and 24 hours before arrival in the United States.
