This video focuses on understanding ISF non-compliance for importers. Importer Security Filing (ISF), also known as 10+2 filing, is a requirement of US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all ocean cargo imports entering the United States. Failure to comply with ISF regulations can result in penalties, shipment delays, and cargo seizure. Importers should understand the timing requirements for ISF filings, which must be submitted to CBP at least 24 hours before the cargo is loaded onto the vessel. Accuracy and completeness of the filing are crucial to avoid penalties and complications during customs clearance. Importers must maintain a valid Customs bond to ensure compliance with ISF regulations. Penalties for non-compliance can range from monetary fines to shipment holds and cargo seizure. Importers can mitigate the risks of non-compliance by partnering with a licensed customs broker who can navigate customs regulations and provide guidance.
