In this response, we address the question of whether an Importer Security Filing (ISF) is required for field hockey footwear. The ISF is a mandatory filing that importers must submit to US Customs and Border Protection before their goods depart for the United States. The answer to whether an ISF is required for field hockey footwear depends on the value of the shipment, the mode of transportation, and the country of origin. If the shipment value is less than or equal to $2,500, an ISF is not required. However, if the value exceeds $2,500 and the goods are being transported by ocean freight from a non-exempt country, an ISF must be submitted at least 24 hours before the goods are loaded onto the vessel. Failure to file an ISF or late filing can result in penalties and delayed cargo clearance.
