This video discusses the important steps and considerations involved in updating Importer Security Filing (ISF) information after the cargo has been released from customs but before it reaches its final destination outside the US. The ISF, also known as the 10+2 rule, requires importers to provide key information about incoming cargo to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before its arrival in the United States. If updates to the ISF information are necessary, it is crucial to act promptly. The first step is to contact your customs broker or freight forwarder to initiate the update process. Provide accurate and complete information to avoid potential delays and penalties. Work closely with your customs broker to ensure a smooth flow of the updated information through the customs clearance process.
