In this video, ISF Customs Broker discusses whether importers need to file an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for TARP shipments. TARP, which stands for Tariff Act of 1930, is a US law that governs the importation of goods into the country. ISF, on the other hand, is a mandatory filing requirement introduced in 2009 to enhance cargo security. The video explains that regardless of the type of goods being imported and whether they fall under the provisions of TARP, importers must file an ISF for TARP shipments if they are importing goods into the United States via ocean freight. This is a mandatory requirement enforced by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The video then discusses the importance of ISF in enhancing cargo security and the specific elements that must be included in the ISF filing for TARP shipments. It advises importers to work with a licensed customs broker to simplify the ISF filing process and ensure compliance. The video also highlights the consequences of non-compliance with the ISF filing requirement, emphasizing the penalties that can be imposed by CBP. It concludes by reminding viewers to subscribe to their channel for more informative content and offering assistance with import processes.
