The Importer Security Filing (ISF) is a mandatory requirement for all goods being imported into the United States. It is an electronic filing that contains crucial information about the imported goods to enhance border security and assess potential risks. When it comes to shoe labels and tags, it is important to consider whether they are securely affixed to the shoes within the shipping container or stored separately.

If the shoe labels and tags are securely affixed to the shoes within the container, they are considered part of the manifested cargo and not required to be individually listed on the ISF. However, if they are stored separately within the container, they should be included in the ISF as separate pieces of cargo.

To ensure compliance with the ISF filing requirements, it is always advisable to consult with a customs broker or freight forwarder who can provide expert guidance. They will have the knowledge and experience to navigate the ISF filing process and help you meet customs regulations.

In summary, while shoe labels and tags may not always need to be individually listed on the ISF, it is crucial to understand that the filing requirements are based on the container as a whole. Seeking professional advice will help ensure compliance and avoid potential issues with customs.
