In this episode of our customs brokerage video series, we discuss the process of updating ISF (Importer Security Filing) information after the cargo has sailed. ISF is a mandatory requirement imposed by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to gather important data about incoming cargo. While it is crucial to provide accurate and complete ISF information before the cargo departs, there may be situations where updates are necessary. To update ISF information, contact your customs broker or the filer of the original ISF and act quickly to avoid penalties or customs holds. Consider the type of update required, the timing of the update (before the cargo's arrival at the first US port), and provide supporting documentation. Once the updates are made, the customs broker will transmit the updated information to the CBP. Compliance with customs regulations and open communication with your customs broker are essential throughout the process. Stay tuned for more insightful videos on customs brokerage and international trade.
