In today's video, we discussed the challenges that customs brokers face when dealing with temporary imports and re-exports in relation to Importer Security Filing (ISF) compliance. Temporary imports involve goods that are brought into a country for a specific period of time before being shipped out again, while re-exports involve goods that were previously imported and are now being shipped out to another destination.
One of the main challenges is ensuring that the ISF is filed correctly for these shipments. The ISF form requires detailed information about the goods and parties involved in the transaction.
