In this video, we discuss when to file an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for a piano. The ISF is a mandatory filing requirement by the US Customs and Border Protection for shipments arriving by ocean vessel, and it must be completed at least 24 hours before the vessel departs from its foreign port. In most cases, if a piano is being shipped to the United States by ocean vessel, an ISF filing is required. However, there are exceptions, such as when the piano is classified as personal effects or if the total value of the piano falls below the CBP's de minimis threshold of $800. It is important to consult with a customs broker to determine if an ISF filing is necessary for a specific piano shipment. Additionally, using a customs broker can be beneficial in ensuring accurate and timely filings of all necessary customs requirements.
