In this video series on customs brokerage, we discuss the question of whether importers can request assistance from customs in filling out Form 5106, also known as the Importer ID Input Record. Form 5106 is a crucial document for importing goods into the United States as it provides the necessary information to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for establishing an importer's unique identification number. CBP does offer assistance and resources to help importers navigate through the complexities of Form 5106. Importers can reach out to their local CBP office or port of entry, where trained customs officers can provide guidance and clarification. They can also use the ACE portal, an online platform that offers guides, instructions, and support channels for filling out the form accurately. However, it's important to note that CBP can only assist with the technical aspects of the form and cannot provide legal or consulting services.
