The Importer Security Filing (ISF) is a mandatory declaration that must be submitted by the importer of record before goods are shipped to the US. Its purpose is to provide the US Customs and Border Protection with advance data to assess potential risks associated with inbound cargo. As an ISF importer, it is your responsibility to ensure that the required information is accurately provided and submitted to Customs within the specified timeframe. This includes verifying the information provided by your suppliers or brokers, as any errors or omissions may result in penalties or delays. You must gather and provide several pieces of information, such as the bill of lading, shipper's and consignee's details, manufacturer's details, container stuffing location, and more. It is important to keep the information provided in the ISF up-to-date and accurate, and to update it accordingly if there are any changes. Working with a customs broker or freight forwarder can help ensure compliance and streamline the customs clearance process.
