In this video, we discuss when to file Importer Security Filing (ISF) for camping and hiking equipment. ISF is a filing required by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all cargo shipments entering the United States by vessel. It provides crucial information about the content and nature of the cargo to enhance border security and facilitate customs clearance. ISF should be filed at least 24 hours prior to the vessel's departure, but there are exceptions for certain types of cargo. For camping and hiking equipment, ISF should be filed if the shipment meets the criteria for a formal entry. Key information to include in the ISF for camping and hiking equipment includes details about the shipper, consignee, cargo description, harmonized system code, and container stuffing location. Working with a customs broker can help ensure accurate ISF filing. Non-compliance with ISF requirements can result in penalties imposed by CBP, ranging from monetary fines to shipment holds or even seizure of goods.
