In this episode of our customs brokerage series, we dive deep into the concept of Importer Security Filing (ISF) and its impact on international trade. ISF, also known as 10+2, is a mandatory filing requirement introduced by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to enhance supply chain security and improve data accuracy. By providing detailed information about the cargo in advance, ISF enables CBP to screen shipments effectively, identify security risks, and make informed decisions for the safety of the US borders. The filing of ISF is the responsibility of the importer, but they can appoint a licensed customs broker to handle the process. ISF applies to both containerized and non-containerized shipments, requiring the submission of ten crucial data elements. Compliance with ISF is crucial to avoid penalties and shipment holds. ISF aids in risk assessment and targeting of high-risk shipments, contributes to the efficiency of customs processes, and encourages collaboration among stakeholders in international trade. Overall, ISF has significantly impacted global trade by strengthening security measures and streamlining operations.
