In this video, we discuss the important role of Importer Security Filing (ISF) in ensuring supply chain security. ISF, also known as 10+2 filing, is a requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for importers to provide specific information about their cargo before it arrives in the US. The purpose of ISF filing is to enhance supply chain security by allowing CBP to identify potential security risks and take appropriate action. The key components of ISF filing include providing accurate information about the importer, consignee, manufacturer, seller, and buyer, as well as a detailed description of the goods. Non-compliance with ISF filing can result in severe consequences, such as penalties and delays in customs clearance. However, complying with ISF filing brings several benefits to importers, including enhanced supply chain security, faster customs clearance, reduced costs, and improved planning. As customs brokers, we play a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless submission of ISF filing on behalf of the importer.
