In this customs brokerage video series episode, we dive into the specific requirements for filing the Importer Security Filing (ISF) for live animals. The ISF is a mandatory requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that enhances cargo security while facilitating trade. For live animals, providing accurate ISF information is crucial in assessing risk, ensuring proper handling, identifying potential threats, and enforcing regulations. In addition to the general ISF requirements, there are considerations specific to live animals, such as using appropriate Harmonized System (HS) codes, obtaining veterinary certificates and permits, and complying with prohibited or restricted species regulations. Timely filing and accuracy are essential, as failure to do so can result in penalties.
