This video discusses the influence of Importer Security Filing (ISF) on supply chain security best practices in the field of customs brokerage and international trade. ISF, also known as a 10+2 filing, is a mandatory requirement by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for shipments imported by vessel into the United States. ISF promotes visibility and transparency in the supply chain by requiring importers to provide detailed information about their cargo. It encourages collaboration among stakeholders and fosters a culture of accountability and responsibility. ISF also enables the use of data analytics and advanced technologies to enhance risk assessment capabilities. Additionally, it has led to the adoption of additional security measures and is an integral part of comprehensive supply chain security programs.
