In this video, we deep dive into the topic of Importer Security Filing (ISF) and its role in supporting risk-based targeting by customs authorities. ISF is a requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for importers to provide certain shipment information before goods arrive at a US port of entry. The main objective of ISF is to enhance the security of the global supply chain and ensure the safety of the nation. ISF supports risk-based targeting by providing valuable data to customs authorities that enable them to assess the risk associated with each shipment. Key elements of the ISF process that contribute to risk-based targeting include accurate and detailed information about the shipment contents, disclosure of parties involved in the transaction, vessel stow plans, container status messages, and data sharing and collaboration among customs authorities globally. By implementing risk-based targeting strategies, customs authorities can focus their resources on the most pressing security concerns, promoting safe and secure international trade.
