What is Importer Security Filing (ISF)?
Importer Security Filing is a mandatory Customs Border Protection regulation which requires all importers receiving cargo by ocean vessel to provide advanced shipment information to CBP prior to leaving port.
Who files my ISF and when?
Your Customs Broker will file ISF on your behalf at least 24 hours prior to cargo leaving its port of origin.
What happens if ISF is not performed?
Failure to file your ISF can lead to stiff penalties, increased cargo inspection, and an overall delay in receiving your cargo. Penalties range from $5,000 USD – $100,000 USD
What Information is required to file an ISF?
ISF requires 10 separate data elements.
They are listed as follows:
- Supplier (or manufacturer) name & address – the company or person that manufactured the goods or the last company/person that modified it.

- Consolidator name & address – the party who physically stuffed the container or arranged for it. If the vendor or manufacturer of the goods stuffed the container, then they would be considered the consolidator.
- ISF importer (importer assigned) number – The IRS number, employee identification number, social security number, or CBP assigned number of the party responsible for the goods entering the United States. This may or may not be the importer of record; it can be the owner, consignee, or agent.
