This video discusses the penalties for not reporting the Ultimate Consignee's IRS number or EIN accurately in an Importer Security Filing (ISF). The ISF is a mandatory requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all ocean shipments bound for the United States. Failure to report the Ultimate Consignee's IRS number or EIN accurately can result in penalties such as fines, shipment delays, or cargo holds. It is important to partner with a trusted customs broker who can guide importers through the customs clearance process and ensure accurate reporting. Implementing a compliance checklist can also help maintain consistency and avoid oversights.
