In this video, we discuss the Importer Security Filing (ISF) for baby formula, focusing on where to file the ISF. The ISF is a mandatory document required by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for ocean vessel shipments entering the United States. Filing an accurate and timely ISF is crucial for importers to avoid penalties, delays, and cargo seizure. Generally, the party responsible for the goods entering the United States, which can be the importer or their customs broker, should file the ISF. Importers have two options for filing the ISF: filing it themselves through the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) system or hiring a licensed customs broker. Hiring a customs broker offers benefits such as saving time, minimizing errors, and accessing their expertise and relationships with the CBP. Compliance is essential, whether filing the ISF independently or through a customs broker.
