ISF Template | 800-216-8544 | isf@isftemplate.com | www.isftemplate.com

In this video, we delve into the concept of Importer Security Filing (ISF) and its regulatory landscape in international trade. The ISF is a requirement introduced by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to enhance supply chain security. It requires importers or their authorized agents to submit advance information about incoming shipments. Failure to comply with ISF requirements may lead to penalties and delays. The ISF filing process involves two stages - the initial submission of basic information and the subsequent submission of additional details as per the 10+2 rule. Importers have the responsibility for ISF filing but often work with customs brokers who specialize in managing the complexities of the process. Customs brokers also play a role in facilitating compliance with ISF regulations through customs bonds and providing a range of other services related to international trade.
