In this video, we address the question of whether a non-resident or non-US citizen can complete the Importer Security Filing (ISF) process. We explain that the ISF is a mandatory requirement for all ocean shipments entering the United States, and it involves providing detailed information about the cargo to the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). We clarify that there are no specific restrictions on who can complete the ISF filing, but note that certain legal requirements and obligations may differ for non-residents or non-US citizens. We then discuss the importance of engaging the services of a licensed customs broker, who can provide expertise, ensure compliance, streamline the ISF filing process, manage risks, and save time and costs. In conclusion, non-residents and non-US citizens can complete the ISF filing, but it is advisable to work with a customs broker for a smoother process.
