The ISF, also known as 10+2 filing, is a requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for importers to provide specific details about their shipments prior to arrival in the United States. The purpose of the ISF is to enhance supply chain security and aid in the risk assessment of incoming cargo. Non-compliance with ISF requirements can result in penalties, delays, and other consequences. The steps involved in filing an ISF include gathering necessary information, choosing a customs broker, submitting the ISF, paying the filing fee, monitoring CBP requests, and maintaining records. By understanding and following these steps, importers can ensure compliance and facilitate secure international trade.
