ISF Template | 562-453-7357 | isf@isftemplate.com | www.isftemplate.com

This video discusses the importance of filing an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for saddle imports. The ISF, also known as the 10+2 rule, is a requirement by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that ensures compliance and smooth trade operations. The ISF must be filed at least 24 hours before the cargo is loaded onto the vessel. The ISF requires ten mandatory data elements and two additional elements, which include information about the manufacturer, ship-to party, consignee, seller, buyer, importer of record, final consignee, country of origin, commodity HTSUS number, and container stuffing location. Filing an ISF for saddles helps in mitigating risks, complying with international trade agreements, and avoiding delays and penalties. Working with a customs broker or an automated customs brokerage platform can simplify the ISF filing process.
