This video discusses whether a non-US entity can complete the Importer Security Filing (ISF) with the help of a US-based affiliate or subsidiary. The ISF filing is a mandatory requirement by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and requires importers or their agents to provide specific information about the imported cargo. The non-US entity can appoint a US-based affiliate or subsidiary as their agent to handle the ISF filing process. The non-US entity must provide a valid power of attorney (POA) authorizing the US-based entity to act as their agent. The US-based affiliate or subsidiary assumes the responsibilities of the non-US entity in regards to the ISF filing but the non-US entity remains ultimately responsible for compliance with CBP regulations.
