When importing watch parts, it is important to understand the requirements and responsibilities of filing an Importer Security Filing (ISF). The ISF is a mandatory filing that must be submitted to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before the cargo arrives in the United States. The responsible party for filing the ISF can vary depending on the import process. This article explores three different scenarios: the importer of record, a licensed customs broker, or a freight forwarder. Regardless of who files the ISF, it is crucial to provide accurate and comprehensive information to avoid penalties and delays. The ISF requirement applies to all shipments, regardless of the mode of transportation. Ultimately, ensuring a smooth importation process requires accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with CBP regulations.
