CBP Says Joint ISF/ACE Summary Report, ISF Carrier Report, ISF Queries on Horizon
According to officials at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency is continuing to roll out new Importer Security Filing (10+2) capabilities every month. For example, in the next several months, ACE Portal ISF reports will be married to the ACE Portal importer reports for entry summaries, so all that information will be in one big report and the information from each report will not have to be correlated.

CBP is also looking at query capability in the next few months, such as bill of lading (BOL) status queries, as well as carrier reports, as carriers have not been able to receive their ISF compliance information to date. The lack of carrier visibility to their compliance rating has been one of the several reasons CBP has been hesitant to enforce the ISF to date.
(See ITT's Online Archives 11072804 for BP summary stating that later in 2011 ACE would deliver additional ISF capabilities, including the capability for a user to query the status of their ISF by transaction and BOL number.)
