This response addresses the question of whether there are any restrictions on filing the Importer Security Filing (ISF) for goods subject to import restrictions based on biological or biosecurity concerns. The Importer Security Filing (ISF) is a requirement introduced by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to enhance security measures in international trade, and it applies to non-bulk cargo shipments. For goods subject to import restrictions based on biological or biosecurity concerns, additional measures and restrictions apply to the filing of the ISF to ensure safety and compliance. Importers must provide detailed and accurate information related to these concerns, including species, origin, and intended use of the goods. It is essential for importers to stay up to date with relevant regulations and work closely with their customs broker to ensure compliance. Proper and timely provision of information will prevent delays and penalties associated with sensitive goods entering the country.
