This video discusses the process of filing an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for insect collectors. Customs brokerage plays a crucial role in ensuring compliant and smooth import transactions. The ISF is a mandatory requirement for ocean shipments bound for the United States and must be filed electronically at least 24 hours before the shipment departs. Working with a licensed customs broker or filing through the ACE portal are the two options for filing an ISF. Specific details, such as shipper and consignee information, container stuffing location, and more, need to be included in the ISF. Importing insects may have additional requirements and restrictions, which a knowledgeable customs broker can help navigate.
