In this video, we discuss the process of validating ISF data inputs, which is essential for anyone involved in the import-export industry. We start by understanding the 12 required data elements for ISF filings, including information about the importer, consignee, seller, vessel, and more. Accuracy is crucial, as even minor errors can lead to delays or penalties. We cover the importance of double-checking all information, including the importer's details, vessel information, and estimated arrival date. Validating tariff codes and duties is another crucial aspect, which can be done by referring to the Harmonized System (HS) code and the CBP tariff database, or by seeking assistance from a customs broker. Documentary requirements should also be verified to avoid delays or seizure of goods. Technology and automation can aid in streamlining the data validation process, and collaborating with a customs broker can provide expert guidance and ensure compliance.
