In this video, the speaker addresses the question of whether individuals completing a temporary relocation to the United States can file an ISF (Importer Security Filing) for their imported goods. The speaker explains that individuals can indeed file the ISF, but there are important considerations to keep in mind. Firstly, the responsibility of filing the ISF typically falls on the party responsible for bringing the goods into the US, such as the carrier or customs broker. However, individuals may need to take on this responsibility themselves. Secondly, individuals must be aware of the time constraints associated with the ISF and ensure timely filing to avoid penalties and delays. Accuracy in providing all required information is also crucial to avoid potential problems during customs clearance. The speaker highlights the option of working with a licensed customs broker to simplify the process. The speaker concludes by mentioning the potential need for a customs bond as well.
