Unraveling the ISF Mystery: Do I Have to File for Garment Labels?

ISF Template | 800-216-8544 | isf@isftemplate.com | www.isftemplate.com

In this video script, we explore the question of whether an Importer Security Filing (ISF) needs to be filed for garment labels. Firstly, we define what an ISF is, highlighting its role in enhancing supply chain security and facilitating risk assessment. Next, we outline the requirements for filing an ISF, including providing information about the importer, consignee, and details of the goods. Moving on to the main question, we discuss two scenarios regarding garment labels: integrated labels and separate labels. Integrated labels, which are attached to the garments themselves, are typically covered within the ISF filed for the garments. However, if the labels are considered separate entities and imported as standalone items, a separate ISF may be required. We emphasize the importance of consulting with a customs broker to determine the appropriate ISF filing and explain the benefits of working with a customs broker in navigating customs regulations and international trade.
