n Importer Security Filing (ISF) is a mandatory requirement imposed by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all importers to file specific details about incoming cargo. This video discusses how and when to file an ISF for baby powder and prickly heat powder. The ISF should be filed at least 24 hours before the goods are loaded onto the vessel bound for the United States. To file an ISF, you'll need the HTS code (Harmonized Tariff Schedule code) for the products, which helps classify the goods and determine applicable customs duties and regulations. Additionally, you'll need the manufacturer or supplier name and address, as well as the country of origin for both products. Once you've gathered all the necessary information, you can file the ISF electronically through the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) and monitor the status of your filing using the Cargo Control Number (CCN) provided by CBP. Filing an accurate and timely ISF is crucial to avoid delays, penalties, and complications with imports. It is always advisable to consult a reputable customs broker for assistance with the filing process.
