In this episode of License to Import, we delve into the role of Importer Security Filing (ISF) in enhancing border security. We begin by emphasizing the importance of securing borders in international trade, particularly in preventing the entry of illegal goods that pose risks to public safety. We then discuss the significant role played by Customs Bonds as a guarantee for importers to comply with customs regulations and pay duties or taxes on imported goods. Moving on, we highlight the concept of Importer Security Filing (10+2) as a requirement by US Customs and Border Protection for importers to submit advance information about their shipments. We explain how this filing allows customs authorities to assess potential security risks, target inspections, and prevent the entry of illegal goods. Lastly, we emphasize the need for importers to work closely with their customs brokerage partners to ensure timely and accurate submission of the required information to avoid penalties and disruptions.
