ISF Template | 562-453-7357 | isf@isftemplate.com | www.isftemplate.com

This article discusses the various expedite options available for filing the Importer Security Filing (ISF) when dealing with intellectual property (IP) related goods. It highlights the importance of customs brokerage in ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and protecting IP rights. The article explores three key expedite options: Prior Notice, Prior Disclosure, and C-TPAT certification. Prior Notice enables the importer to notify Customs and Border Protection (CBP) about the import of potentially infringing goods, allowing CBP to take appropriate actions. Prior Disclosure provides an opportunity for importers to voluntarily disclose any unintentional violations related to IP. Lastly, the article explains how Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certification can expedite the ISF process for importers with robust security measures in place. By utilizing these expedite options, importers can streamline their customs clearance processes and mitigate the risk of IP infringement. #usimportbond #isfcustomsbroker #uscustomsclearing #isfentry
