In this episode, we explore how the Importer Security Filing (ISF) program intersects with international mail services involving hazardous waste. The ISF program requires importers or their agents to submit certain information to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in advance of vessel loading. While the ISF program primarily applies to goods transported by vessel, it is crucial for shippers to understand their obligations when shipping hazardous waste through international mail services. Shippers must accurately complete the ISF filing, provide all the required information related to the hazardous waste shipment, and comply with relevant regulations and requirements. The ISF program enables CBP to identify and assess potential risks associated with cargo, allowing for effective resource allocation and targeted examinations. Non-compliance with the ISF program may result in penalties or delays in cargo release. Shippers should prioritize understanding and fulfilling their obligations under the ISF program to ensure the safety and security of the supply chain.
