In this episode of our customs brokerage series, we discuss the Importer Security Filing (ISF) and specifically, the information required for ISF-102. ISF is a requirement imposed by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all ocean cargo arriving in the United States, aimed at enhancing border security and risk assessment capabilities. ISF-102 is the Importer Security Filing for Carrier Liability and focuses on providing information about the carrier and its obligations. The key information required for ISF-102 includes the vessel stow plan, container status messages (CSMs), and container freight station (CFS) location. Other essential elements for ISF-102 include the vessel name, voyage number, SCAC code, bill of lading number, foreign port of unlading, and the estimated arrival date. It is crucial to provide this information at least 24 hours before the cargo is loaded onto the vessel to avoid penalties and delays. Understanding and accurately providing ISF data is essential for a seamless import process. Subscribe to our channel for more informative videos on customs brokerage and international trade.
