Importer Security Filing (10+2)
Importer Security Filing (ISF) is a step in the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS)
strategy to better assess and identify high-risk shipments from entering the United States. It is also known as "10+2". ISF is a requirement from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for importers and carriers to electronically submit additional information
on cargo before it departs the port of origin.
This regulation requires ocean carriers to submit “10+2” information in order to enhance the security of the maritime shipments. ISF (10 + 2) information includes 10 data elements reported by the vendor/importer generally submitted at the time of booking and 2
additional data elements that are provided by the carrier.
Century acts as DXLG’s agent and is authorized to submit the ISF on our behalf at the port of departure. Vendors should submit the ISF information listed below as part of the VMS booking process
10+2 Data Elements
1. Seller – Must be submitted by the vendor
2. Buyer – Preloaded into Century/VMS
3. Importer of Record number/FTZ Applicant ID number – Preloaded into Century/VMS
4. Consignee number – Preloaded into Century/VMS
5. Manufacturer (or supplier) – Must be submitted by the vendor.
6. Ship to party – Preloaded into Century/VMS
7. Country of origin – Must be submitted by vendor.
8. Harmonized Tariff Schedule number – Preloaded into Century/VMS
9. Container stuffing location – Must be submitted by the vendor in cases of Factory Load only
4
10. Consolidator (stuffer) – Will be submitted by Century for CFS loads.
These are the “+2” data elements which are entirely the responsibility of the steamship line
1. Vessel stow plan 2. Container status messages
The manufacturer, country of origin, and HTS number must be linked to one another at the ISF line item level. Customs will allow the entry/entry summary to be filed at
the same time as the ISF.
Seven Point C-TPAT Security Container Inspection Report
All factory loaded containers must be accompanied by a completed FACTORY 7 POINT C-TPAT CONTAINER PRELOAD INSPECTION REPORT (please see Exhibit “A”). This document
is required by DXLG for C-TPAT verification purposes. The must be included with the balance of documents being submitted to Century. Please note that Century will not issue
an FCR for factory loaded containers without submission of the report. Seals
All ocean containers must be sealed with a “High Security” seals meeting at least the
minimum requirements as prescribed by US Customs C-TPAT requirements. These seals can be obtained from the ocean carrier who is shipping the container.

CENTURY REQUIREMENTS
Century will issue a Forwarder’s Cargo Receipt (FCR) for all shipments (other than those that the L/C or that legally require a bill of lading) once the order has been delivered on a timely basis, correct documents (see list below) have been submitted and all charges have been paid to Century. Please note that DXLG's terms of purchase for all direct import purchase orders are FOB, meaning that all origin charges assessed by consolidators, freight forwarders and/or steamship lines/airlines, are the responsibility of the vendor. To maintain the timely and correct routing of your purchase order(s), all suppliers should contact the appropriate Century origin office for booking, routing and documentation instructions at least 10 days (for sea) or 4 days (for air) prior to the “Do Not Ship After” date designated in each purchase order. Whenever it is necessary for your purchase order(s) to be shipped via air they must be routed using Century regardless of the party incurring the expense. This may not be deviated from.

Minimum Freight Volumes needed for a Factory Load
45' Container = 70 CBM or better
HQ Container = 60 CBM or better 40' Container = 50 CBM or better
20' Container = Not allowed without specific authorization from DXLG Logistics
It is imperative that containers are loaded in such a way that they can be unloaded at DXLG’s distribution center as quickly and efficiently as possible. DXLG recognizes that it
may be more cost effective for a factory to load its own containers, but because of strict requirements at the DXLG distribution center, factories need to recognize that this is a privilege, and if the method outlined below is not followed, the privilege will be
denied on future factory load requests.
Cargo must be loaded into container by Purchase Order and Sku Number sequence.
A PO can only be split between two containers where there are too many cartons in
that PO to fit into the first container. The balance may be loaded into the second container, however, Sku integrity must always be maintained; an sku must never be
split over multiple containers. The overage must be loaded on tail of the subsequent container.
Should a vendor deliver a factory loaded container not meeting the minimums outlined above, the factory shall be charged back the dead freight differential
between what is actually loaded and the minimums noted above.
Invoices
There must only be one invoice per shipper, per vesselDXLG. If there is a need to issue more than one invoice (and therefore additional bills of lading), the shipper must obtain prior approval from DXLGDXLG Logistics, or the expenses incurred will be charged back.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the routing of DXLG import (first cost) purchase orders please do not hesitate to contact Beth Green of our Logistics Dept at 781-828-9300 ext. 2665 or [email protected]

The policies contained herein supersede any and all prior publications of the DXLG Merchandise Vendor Routing Guide. Please discard all prior versions of this guide and ensure that all customer service, logistics and shipping associates in your company receive a copy of this routing guide and fully comply with its instructions. All DXLG Merchandise Vendors must EMAIL or FAX a completed Vendor Routing Authorization Form (VRAF) for the appropriate division to the DXLG Logistics Department for an authorization number and carrier routing 48 hours prior to shipping.

DXLG VENDOR ROUTING STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
Any and all routing guide, shipping and/or freight related violations will be charged back at the associated rate found in the Schedule of Charge Back Fees for Routing Violations included in this routing guide.
Vendor must provide DXLG Logistics Department a minimum of 48 hours prior notice for merchandise pick-up.
Vendor must EMAIL or FAX a completed Vendor Routing Authorization Form (VRAF) to the DXLG Logistics Dept. 48 hours prior to your “Ready to Ship Date”. The DXLG Logistics Dept. will assign an authorization number, carrier routing and fax the VRAF back to the vendor.
Create ONE Bill of Lading (BOL) when shipping MULTIPLE PURCHASE ORDERS (P.O.) and/or MULTIPLE DIVISIONS on the same day.
All P.O.’s must be shipped complete and on time. Partial, early or late shipments are not permitted without pre-approval from DXLG’s Divisional Merchandise Manager (DMM).
PO and SKU integrity must always be maintained when loading a trailer or a pallet therefore cartons must always be loaded simultaneously by PO # and SKU # to ensure that all cartons for each PO and SKU are loaded together. Whether floor loaded into a trailer / container or stacked on pallets loading simultaneously by PO and SKU # must be adhered to in order to ensure an efficient unloading process at DXLG’s distribution center. When cartons are loaded on a pallet by PO and SKU the cartons must
11
be uniformly stacked in a block configuration with the carton label clearly visible. When pallet loading it is important to ship as few pallets as possible to reduce freight charges therefore we permit and encourage multiple SKU’s on a pallet as long as they are stacked simultaneously insuring each SKU is kept together on the pallet.
DXLG encourages pallet loading unless the cubic measurement of the cartons will prohibit all of the cartons from fitting on one trailer then the cartons must be loaded loose on the floor of the trailer to maximize the space in the trailer. DXLG will issue instructions on the VRAF whether to pallet load or floor (loose cartons) load.
Regarding Landed (LDP) Shipments, vendor must EMAIL or FAX a completed VRAF to the DXLG Logistics Department for inland routing and authorization 48 Hours Before shipments arrive and clear U.S. Customs. Failure to comply resulting in any subsequent pier related charges such as but not limited to detention, per diem and demurrage will be charged back.
LDP terms: (A) Except for FOB Boston, DXLG does not pick up full LDP container shipments. (B) Non FOB Boston full containers and all LCL LDP shipments must be tendered to DXLG’s carrier as loose freight.
Carrier loading (detention) at vendor warehouse or shipping location cannot exceed two hours. Any detention charged by a carrier exceeding two hours will be charged back.
When authorized, UPS Ground shipping must be on a collect or 3rd Party basis. Do not prepay and add the freight charges to
your merchandise invoice. DXLG does not pay freight on merchandise invoices. Contact the DXLG Logistics Department for the applicable UPS Shipper number to be applied to your shipment.
Air Freight can only be authorized by the DXLG Logistics Dept.

ROCHESTER MERCHANDISE PACKING LIST REQUIREMENT
Please note these important requirements regarding packing lists and EDI ASN’s that Rochester vendors
shipping merchandise to the DXLG distribution center located in Canton, MA must adhere to effective
April 6, 2011. Non compliance with any of these requirements will result in charge backs as defined
within this document. These requirements are applicable to all Rochester Big & Tall vendors’ effective
April 6, 2011.
All Rochester vendors must provide a separate packing list indicating the total amount of units being
shipped per SKU for each and every Purchase Order (PO) with each Vendor Routing Authorization Form
(VRAF) submitted to the DXLG Logistics Dept for routing. This packing list must list the PO number(s)
being shipped and most importantly provide the total quantity in units being shipped for each and every
SKU shipped within each PO; the unit quantities on the packing list must match exactly to what is
actually shipped. Failure to provide this packing list with the VRAF; failure to provide all the required
packing list information or if the SKU quantities on the packing list do not match exactly to what is
actually received by DXLG will result in a charge back in the amount of $250 per PO.
If you are an EDI approved vendor shipping small quantities and have been approved to pack and ship
multiple SKUs within a carton, you may continue to send an EDI 856 ASN to DXLG for that shipment.
The following is an example of the information required on the packing list which must be submitted with
the VRAF:
