The correct classification of these goods using Harmonized System (HS) codes is crucial for accurate ISF filing. It is also important to include any quota or trade preference information in the ISF filing. Customs brokers play a significant role in ensuring compliance and facilitating the smooth flow of goods through customs. By partnering with a trusted customs broker, importers can minimize non-compliance risk, avoid penalties, and expedite customs clearance.
