ISF Filer || isf@isffiler.com || 800-239-8652 || www.isffiler.com

The Importer Security Filing (ISF) is a requirement by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all cargo being imported into the United States. It is meant to enhance the security of cargo shipments and provide advance information about the goods being imported. Whether a filing is required for airbrushes depends on the purpose of the import and the quantity being imported. If airbrushes are being imported for personal use or hobby purposes and the shipment doesn't meet certain threshold criteria, filing an ISF may not be necessary. However, if the import is for commercial purposes or exceeds the specified threshold, filing an ISF becomes mandatory. In such cases, it is advisable to engage a licensed customs broker to assist with the process and ensure compliance with customs regulations. Additionally, commercial importers may also need to obtain a customs bond as a financial guarantee to CBP. Consulting with a customs broker is always recommended to determine the specific requirements for airbrush shipments.
