In this episode of our customs brokerage series, we explore the topic of Importer Security Filing (ISF) compliance and the penalties that can result from non-compliance. ISF is a filing requirement imposed by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for importers or their agents when goods are imported by ocean. The purpose of ISF is to enhance the CBP's ability to target high-risk shipments and expedite the release of goods. Non-compliance with ISF requirements can lead to significant financial penalties, ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 per violation. It can also result in supply chain disruptions, including delayed delivery and potential cargo holds. Working with experienced customs brokers is essential to avoid ISF non-compliance and ensure a smooth importing process.
