In this video, we delve into the complexities of navigating the classification of goods subject to trade remedies when filing the Importer Security Filing (ISF). Trade remedies are measures implemented by governments to protect domestic industries from unfair trade practices, impacting the classification and import process. To accurately classify these goods, customs brokers need to verify the presence of trade remedies, identify the correct tariff provision, cross-check legal texts and regulations, and seek professional advice. We also discuss the importance of obtaining a customs bond, which serves as a financial guarantee for payment of duties, taxes, and fees associated with importation. There are two types of customs bonds: single entry bond and continuous bond, depending on the frequency and volume of imports. Lastly, we highlight the significance of international trade agreements in the customs brokerage industry, such as the WTO, NAFTA, and CPTPP, and how they influence customs procedures, duty rates, and documentation requirements. Overall, the accurate classification of trade remedy goods and compliance with customs regulations are vital for successful importation.
