In this video, we discuss whether an Importer Security Filing (ISF) is required for importing lip scrubs. We start by explaining what an ISF is and its mandatory filing requirement for all import shipments entering the United States by ocean. The requirement for an ISF depends on the specific regulations set by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for cosmetics, which lip scrubs fall under. To determine if an ISF is required, one can check the CBP website or consult with a licensed customs broker. Additionally, it is important to consider obtaining a customs bond when importing goods into the United States, as it provides financial guarantee and compliance with customs regulations. Consulting a customs broker throughout the import process is crucial for ensuring compliance and overcoming potential challenges.
