In this episode of our Customs Brokerage 101 series, we discuss when to file an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for a nail printer. The ISF, also known as the 10+2 rule, is a requirement by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that mandates the submission of certain information about goods entering the United States to enhance supply chain security and streamline customs processes. For nail printers and other commercial goods, the ISF must be filed at least 24 hours prior to the cargo being loaded onto a vessel destined for the United States, regardless of the mode of transportation. Customs brokers play a crucial role in helping importers comply with the ISF requirements by gathering and submitting the necessary information and providing updates on cargo status. Additionally, customs brokers can assist importers in obtaining a customs bond, which is a financial guarantee that ensures the payment of duties, taxes, and other fees required by CBP. It's important to include accurate and complete information in the ISF to avoid penalties or delays in customs clearance. Having a reliable customs broker is essential to ensuring a smooth and compliant import process.
