In this video, we discuss when to file an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for lighters in the customs brokerage industry. The ISF, also known as the 10+2 Rule, is a mandatory requirement by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency, which requires importers to provide shipment details before goods are loaded onto a vessel bound for the United States. The general rule is to submit the ISF at least 24 hours before the cargo is loaded, but there are exceptions for shorter voyages and updates to the filing. It is recommended to work with a licensed customs broker to ensure proper filing and compliance with CBP regulations. Additionally, we touch on the importance of customs bonds and the role of customs brokers in facilitating smooth import and export operations in international trade.
