Feb 08, 2010 – Humboldt Storage and Moving, greater Boston’s oldest moving company, largest United Van Lines agent and experts in stress-free moving handles an average of 1,200 international relocations in a year. The senior management of this Boston Moving Company filmed a short video blog on the newly enforceable 10 Plus 2 Form being enforced by the US Customs and Border Control.
The video can be found here at the Humboldt Blog; http://www.movingcompanyblog.com/?p=442
The Importer Security Filing or more commonly known as the 10 Plus 2 form must be filed within 48 hours of a shipping vessel leaving the port of origin with any household or other goods slated for the United States on it. While the responsibility of the moving company, consumers or transferees should know that this is now being enforced by the US Customs and Border Patrol to quell any efforts of smuggling or other illegal activity. If a person is moving goods into the US, this form has to be filed on time.

If the form is not filed with Customs in that time period, a container can be seized at the US port and be completely inspected. The cost of that seizure and inspection will solely rest on the person who owns the contents. It could run a person thousands of dollars. If a company is relocating that person, the company could wind up incurring that cost depending on their relocation policy. Fines can be as high as $5,000 per violation and as much as $25,000 per shipment.
“While this is now enforceable as of January 26, we want people to know we have already been doing this for some time,” says James Sullivan, president of Humboldt Storage and Movinghttp://www.humboldt.com/ . “This is part of what a moving company does as a service to their customers and this Boston moving company does everything in out power to reduce the stress of a move including international paperwork.”
