US Customs Clearing | 213-270-1930 | info@uscustomsclearing.com | https://uscustomsclearing.com

In this video, we discuss the penalty for not including the shipper's country code in the Importer Security Filing (ISF). We first provide an overview of the ISF and its importance. Next, we emphasize on the significance of including the shipper's country code in the ISF and its role in risk assessment. We then address the question of whether there is a penalty for not including the shipper's country code and explain that non-compliance with ISF requirements can result in fines. We highlight that the penalty amount can vary and is influenced by factors such as the severity of the violation and the importer's compliance history. Furthermore, we stress the importance of promptly correcting any errors in the ISF and discuss how working with a customs broker can help ensure compliance and reduce the risk of penalties.
