Typically, personal goods like car rooftop tents used for personal purposes do not require ISF filing, but commercial shipments may necessitate ISF filing. It is crucial to work with a licensed customs broker to ensure compliance with ISF requirements and navigate through customs regulations. Failing to comply with ISF regulations can result in penalties and delays, highlighting the importance of working with a trusted customs broker.
