Authorization for a customs broker or filing agent to submit Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2) data to U.S. CBP on behalf of an importer for ocean cargo, as required by 19 C.F.R. Part 149.
The Importer Security Filing (ISF) Authorization is a ready-to-use transportation & logistics template you can send for signature in minutes. It is written for 1 signer (importer) and, by default, expires 30 days after it is sent if left unsigned. It covers isf, 102, customs, ocean cargo, cbp, import. Like every Abundera Sign template it is a convenience draft structured for ESIGN Act and UETA compliance, not a substitute for legal advice. Each signed copy is sealed with PAdES-LTA digital signatures, dual RFC 3161 timestamps, and a tamper-evident evidence package in WORM storage.
