In this video, we discuss the pros and cons of the 10+2 ISF filing rule in customs brokerage. The ISF filing rule, introduced by US Customs and Border Protection, requires importers to provide specific information about their cargo before it is loaded onto a vessel destined for the US. The pros of the rule include increased supply chain visibility and improved risk management, as it allows customs authorities to identify potential security threats and allocate resources efficiently. However, there are also cons to consider, such as potential penalties for non-compliance and the increased administrative burden on importers. Hiring a customs broker can help mitigate some of these challenges by ensuring compliance and navigating the complexities of the clearance process. Importers should evaluate their own capabilities before deciding whether to handle the ISF filing process internally or seek assistance from a customs broker.
