ISF Depot // 661-246-8217 // customs@isfdepot.com // www.isfdepot.com

In this video, we delve into the clearance and release process that occurs after completing the Importer Security Filing (ISF). The clearance and release process is critical to ensuring compliance with customs requirements and the legal entry of goods into the United States. We discuss the role of a customs broker in this process, as they serve as intermediaries between importers and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Customs brokers review the ISF filing, prepare customs documents, and submit them to CBP. We also explore the possibility of inspections and physical examinations by CBP, as well as the importance of customs bonds in guaranteeing payment of duties, taxes, and penalties. Finally, we touch on final delivery arrangements and the role of customs brokers in coordinating with transportation providers.
