Mistake number one is providing incorrect or incomplete information, which can lead to delays and fines. To avoid this mistake, it is crucial to double-check all relevant details. Mistake number two is missing the ISF filing deadline, which can result in penalties and holds on cargo. To avoid this, working closely with your customs broker and planning ahead is recommended. Mistake number three is assigning incorrect Harmonized System (HS) codes, which can lead to incorrect duties and penalties. Consulting with a customs broker or trade professional is important to avoid this mistake. Mistake number four is ignoring bond requirements, which can cause delays and clearance problems.
