Yes, in order to get cargo released and file an entry, an ISF must be filed. CBP will continue to accept the ISF submission types 5 and 6 commonly known as “Late ISF – No Bond” options to complete the filing without a bond until further notice to the trade. There can be no liquidated damage claim if there is no ISF Bond in place to obligate the risk. However, CBP may not release the cargo without an ISF Bond, either from the ISF Importer of Record or the ISF Filer. Using this ISF submission type will also result in costly examinations of delay of cargo.
