In this video, we delve into the topic of ISF manifest holds and how they can impact import operations. The Importer Security Filing (ISF) is a requirement by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to enhance supply chain security. Manifest holds occur when discrepancies or inconsistencies are found in the submitted ISF information, and the goods are held at the port until the issue is resolved. Reasons for these holds can range from errors or missing information in the ISF submission to red flags raised by the CBP's risk assessment algorithms. To navigate through manifest holds, importers and customs brokers should work closely together, ensuring accurate ISF data, having a valid customs bond, and communicating effectively with the CBP. Resolving these holds promptly is crucial for smooth import operations and to avoid delays, charges, and inspections.
