Welcome back to our channel! In today's video, we will discuss who should file an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for a smart paper dispenser. The Importer Security Filing, also known as the 10+2 rule, is a requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for importers to provide specific information about their shipments before they arrive in the United States.

Generally, the party responsible for filing the ISF is the importer of record, which is the person or company that is listed as the owner, purchaser, or consignee of the goods being imported. In the case of a smart paper dispenser, it would typically be the company or individual who is purchasing the dispenser for their own use or for reselling purposes.

However, sometimes the responsibility of filing the ISF may also fall on the manufacturer or vendor of the smart paper dispenser, especially if they have a presence in the United States and directly import the product for distribution.

Alternatively, companies may choose to hire a customs broker to handle the ISF on their behalf. A customs broker is a licensed professional who specializes in customs regulations and documentation and can ensure accurate and timely filing of the ISF.

When importing a smart paper dispenser, it's important to choose the option that works best for your specific situation and ensure timely and accurate filing of the ISF to avoid penalties and delays in customs clearance.
