Avoid ISF Penalties: Understanding the Seller's Name and Address Requirement

US Customs Clearing | 213-270-1930 | [email protected] | https://uscustomsclearing.com/

In this video on customs brokerage and the Importer Security Filing (ISF) requirements, we address the question of whether an ISF penalty can be imposed for not providing the seller's name and address in the ISF. The ISF is a critical step in the customs clearance process, and failure to comply can result in penalties and delays. According to CBP regulations, the ISF must include the name and address of the seller. However, CBP recognizes that there may be situations where this information is not available, and importers can enter No Name or Unknown in the respective fields. Deliberate non-compliance or failure to make reasonable efforts to obtain this information may lead to penalties. It is essential for importers to strive for complete and accurate ISF filings and maintain communication with their suppliers to ensure compliance with ISF requirements.
