In this video, we discuss the options for filing an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for hand and foot warmers. The two options are to file the ISF yourself electronically through the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) system or to hire a customs broker to handle the filing for you. We also emphasize the importance of having a customs bond when filing an ISF, as it serves as a financial guarantee and ensures compliance with customs regulations. The ISF should be filed before the goods depart from the foreign port of loading, typically by the carrier or their agent. It is recommended to consult with a customs broker or shipping agent to determine the specific ISF filing process for hand and foot warmers.
