7-Point Container Inspection
CUSTOMS-TRADE PARTNERSHIP AGAINST TERRORISM (C-TPAT)
(Applies to GSI Suppliers who are loading ocean/sea containers at their dock)
GSI supports and participates in the United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection’s “Customs -
Trade Partnership Against Terrorism” initiative, which is commonly referred to as “C-TPAT”. This is a
joint effort between U.S. Customs and the trade community to reduce the threat of terrorism by protecting the
security & integrity of cargo imported into and/or exported from the United States, from origin to destination.
Shipments of importers participating in C-TPAT receive expedited handling and fewer examinations by
Customs. However, an importer that cannot demonstrate the security of its supply chain will experience delays
and increased inspections of cargo at the U.S. Borders.
As part of this program we are required to make sure our business partners are completing the “7-Point
Container Inspection” prior to loading the container. On the enclosed form you will find the requirements of
the “7-Point Container Inspection”. You must fill out this form for every FCL (Full Container Load) that is
loaded and shipped. You must notate all areas in the form and email the completed form to:
AGCO.C-TPAT@AGCOcorp.com
If you find any deficiencies during the 7-Point Container Inspection, you must refuse to load the container, and
notify us immediately.
In addition, ISO/PAS 17712 high security seals are required to secure the contents of the ocean container.
If you have any questions, please contact: [email protected]
Thank you for helping us keep our borders secure.

Importer Security Filing (ISF)
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency has implemented a security initiative known as the Importer Security
Filing. The Importer Security Filing (ISF) is very important to our business. Failure to file ISF timely and accurately results
in a $5,000.00 penalty per occurrence. As our preferred supplier, it is imperative that you cooperate by providing
information for ISF in a timely manner. U.S. Customs began enforcement initiatives in August 2010 which include
conducting 100% physical examinations of all non-compliant or late ISF filed shipments.
ISF Background:
ISF requires importers to electronically transmit to United States Customs and Border Protection 10 data elements 24
hours before any containerized (FCL or LCL) or break-bulk ocean shipment departs for the United States.
Supplier Data Requirements:
Of the 10 data elements you, our supplier, are responsible for 7. They are listed below:
1. Manufacturer (or supplier) name and address
2. Seller (or owner) name and address
3. Buyer (or owner) name and address
4. Ship-to name and address
5. Country or Origin
6. Container stuffing location
7. Consolidator (stuffer) name and address
Of the 7 data elements that you are required to provide, the first 5 are normally listed on a commercial invoice and
packing list. Therefore the commercial invoice, packing list, and the other 2 data elements need to be sent at the time the
shipment leaves your facility.
When to Send the Required Supplier Data Information:
We must have this information a minimum of 72 hours before the cargo is to depart by ocean for the United States.
Where to Send the Required Supplier Data Information:
We expect an email with the commercial invoice, packing list and other 2 data elements be sent to the below email
address:
AGCO NA Customs Department (for all AGCO locations): Customs.Department@agcocorp.com
Please continue to follow the AGCO International Shipping Instructions for submission of documents to the approved
carriers and freight forwarders for each AGCO division.
Accountability:
As stated earlier, failure to file ISF in a timely manner results in a $5,000.00 penalty per occurrence. Any penalties
incurred from United States Customs and Border Protection will be passed onto you for any shipments in which we do not
receive this information 72 hours before the shipment departs by ocean for the United States. We expect your
cooperation for our compliance with United States Customs and Border Protection.
Sincerely,
Eva Bright
Mgr, NA Customs Compliance
