In this video episode, we explore the concept of Importer Security Filing (ISF) and provide answers to frequently asked questions to deepen your understanding. ISF, also known as 10+2 filing, is a requirement set by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for ocean shipments entering the United States. It involves submitting specific information about the shipment before it arrives, helping CBP identify security threats and facilitate trade. The ISF filing includes 10 data elements such as seller and buyer information, manufacturer details, and container stuffing location. Timely submission of ISF filings is crucial, at least 24 hours before the cargo is loaded onto a vessel, to avoid penalties and delays. While importers can submit their own ISF filings, it is highly recommended to work with a customs broker to ensure accurate and timely submissions. It is essential to update CBP about any changes or updates to the ISF filing to stay compliant. The filing remains valid throughout the cargo's movement and documentation must be retained for auditing purposes for at least five years. Some exceptions exist, such as shipments by air or truck, and goods valued at or below $2,500. Consulting with a customs broker can help determine if any exemptions apply to a specific situation.
