In this video, we discuss when to file an Importer Security Filing (ISF) for art prints. It is important to understand the ISF requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which collects data on inbound shipments before they arrive in the United States. The ISF must be filed at least 24 hours before the goods are loaded onto a vessel. Failing to file or submitting incomplete or inaccurate information can result in penalties and customs clearance delays. When importing art prints, it is crucial to identify the correct Harmonized System (HS) code for art prints and be aware of any additional regulations enforced by agencies like the US Fish and Wildlife Service or the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. While the ISF must be filed for art prints, there is a de minimis exception for shipments with a value of $800 or less. Importers of art prints should consult with a customs broker or expert to understand the specific requirements for their imports.
