ISF is a requirement imposed by US Customs and Border Protection for shipments entering the US by sea. It serves as an advanced notification to CBP, enabling them to conduct risk assessments and expedite the clearance process. Typically, the responsibility for filing ISF lies with the importer or their authorized agent, such as a customs broker. This responsibility applies to all types of imported goods, including straps used for securing cargo. Importers can benefit from partnering with a customs broker who can handle complex paperwork, ensure compliance, and facilitate communication with CBP. Adhering to ISF requirements is essential for a smooth customs clearance process.
