In this episode of Customs Solutions, we explore the impact of Importer Security Filings (ISF) on Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments. ISF, also known as the 10+2 rule, is a requirement by US Customs and Border Protection to gather specific information about shipments bound for the United States. For LCL shipments, each individual consignment within a container requires its own separate ISF filing. Customs brokers play a crucial role in ensuring accurate and timely ISF filings for LCL shipments, working closely with importers to gather and submit the necessary information. Accuracy and timely submission are essential to avoid delays, fines, or cargo holds. Proper ISF filings contribute to supply chain visibility, security, and compliance. Importers and customs brokers should follow a game plan, including maintaining accurate records, gathering information in advance, and staying updated with regulatory changes, to ensure successful ISF filings for LCL shipments.
