In this episode of our customs brokerage series, we discuss the Importer Security Filing (ISF) requirement and whether it applies to modest swimwear. ISF is a mandatory requirement for all ocean shipments entering the United States, aimed at enhancing supply chain security and ensuring the timely provision of accurate information to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Regardless of whether the swimwear is modest or not, if it is being imported via ocean freight, ISF filing is mandatory, with the filing needing to be completed at least 24 hours prior to the vessel's departure from the foreign port. Compliance with ISF requirements is essential to avoid penalties, and working with a knowledgeable customs broker can help ensure compliance with all filing requirements and navigate the customs clearance process effectively. In addition to ISF filing, customs brokers offer a range of other services to assist importers with customs clearance, tariff classification, valuation, and other customs-related matters.
