We begin by providing a quick recap of what ISF is, its purpose, and the penalties associated with non-compliance. We then explain what camouflage entails, including examples such as misrepresenting shipment contents or undervaluing goods. To avoid penalties, we provide three key tips. Firstly, importers should have an open and honest relationship with their customs broker and provide them with accurate information. Secondly, importers should ensure they provide detailed and accurate information, including proper classification and valuation. Lastly, importers should seek professional advice if they are unsure about any aspect of their shipment. We emphasize the importance of compliance not just to avoid penalties, but also to prevent delays and damage to one's reputation.
