In this video, we explore the concept of customs brokerage, specifically focusing on the Importer Security Filing (ISF) or the ISF 10+2. ISF is a requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for importers to provide certain information about their shipments before they are loaded onto a vessel destined for the United States. We delve into the ten data elements required for the ISF, discussing their importance and relevance. These data elements include the seller's name and address, manufacturer or supplier's name and address, buyer's name and address, consignee number, seller's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) number or Employer Identification Number (EIN), importer of record number, consignee's IRS number or EIN, country of origin, Harmonized System (HS) code for the goods, and the container stow plan. It is essential for importers to provide accurate and complete information for each data element to ensure a smooth customs clearance process. Consulting with a customs brokerage firm or expert is advisable to ensure compliance with import regulations and requirements.
