ISF Template | 562-453-7357 | isf@isftemplate.com | www.isftemplate.com
Form 5106, also known as the Importer Identity Form, is a crucial document for customs brokerage and international trade. In this video, we discuss the recommended duration for retaining copies of this form for record-keeping purposes. We recommend keeping copies of Form 5106 for a minimum of five years, aligning with the statute of limitations for most trade-related violations. However, it's important to consider industry-specific requirements and potential audits or investigations that may arise. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, hazardous materials, or firearms may have longer record-keeping requirements. It is advisable to consult legal professionals or your customs broker to determine the appropriate record-keeping duration for your specific situation. Additionally, electronic storage is becoming popular and efficient, but proper security and integrity of the records must be ensured. A comprehensive record-keeping system should also include other relevant import documents, such as commercial invoices, bills of lading, and customs declarations.
