EDI refers to the electronic transmission of structured business data between different systems, providing a standardized format for exchanging data. Commonly used EDI standards include EDIFACT, ANSI X12, and XML, each with their own rules and requirements. Additionally, various protocols enable the secure transmission of EDI messages, such as AS2, FTP, and HTTP. Customs brokers have a crucial role in ensuring compliance with regulations and facilitating smooth import processes, including the accurate filing of ISF. To do so, customs brokers need to collect and provide various pieces of information, and having a comprehensive checklist is essential. The timely and accurate submission of the ISF is crucial to avoid penalties and delays. By leveraging EDI standards and protocols, customs brokers can streamline their ISF filing processes, improve data accuracy, and increase efficiency in international trade.
