What the source says
In terms of the business process, CBP expects the new ISF-10 to be completed electronically prior to seeking the written permission from the local CBP port director. Accordingly, the ISF-10 transaction number needs to be referenced in the written letter to the local port director as part of the request for the change from a shipment type requiring an ISF-5 to shipment type requiring an ISF-10.
