In this episode of our customs brokerage series, we deep-dive into the topic of Importer Security Filing (ISF) for rink equipment. We discuss what ISF is and how it helps assess potential risks associated with cargo. The responsibility of filing ISF for rink equipment lies with the importer of record, who is typically the party that owns the goods or is responsible for payment of duties. While importers can choose to file ISF on their own, hiring a customs broker can simplify the process and ensure compliance. Customs brokers have expertise in customs regulations, can provide guidance on customs duties and fees, and offer additional services such as customs bond procurement and ensuring compliance with trade regulations. Using a customs broker can make the importation process smoother and more efficient.
