Missing or inaccurate information, incorrect classification of goods, late filing, failure to amend when necessary, and lack of communication are the key mistakes to avoid. Providing complete and correct information is crucial for avoiding delays and penalties. Accurate classification using the Harmonized System (HS) codes is vital to prevent delays and fines. Timely submission of the ISF, at least 24 hours before the vessel's departure, is essential for smooth customs clearance. Amendments should be made promptly for any significant changes. Effective communication with all parties involved is crucial to prevent misunderstandings and delays.
