In this video, we delve into the topic of Importer Security Filing (ISF) and the role of technology in ensuring compliance in the customs brokerage industry. Importer Security Filing, also known as 10+2, is a requirement by the US Customs and Border Protection that mandates importers to provide specific information about the goods before they are loaded onto a vessel heading to the United States. Customs brokers act as intermediaries, ensuring accurate gathering, verification, and submission of the required information. The adoption of specialized software and online platforms has streamlined the ISF process, reducing human error and enhancing data accuracy. Mobile applications allow customs brokers to access and update ISF data on the go, facilitating prompt responses to any changes or updates required by CBP. Advanced scanning technologies and future developments like AI and blockchain promise to further enhance ISF compliance in the future.
