Importer Security Filing 007 – Who can file the Importer Security Filing (ISF)?

The ISF importer or his agent will be responsible for filing the complete, accurate, and timely importer Security Filing. ISF importer means the party causing goods to arrive within the limits of a port in the United States. For foreign cargo remaining on board, the ISF Importer is construed as the carrier. For immediate exportation (IE) and transportation and exportation (T&E) in-bond shipments, and goods to be delivered to a foreign trade zone (FTZ), the ISF importer is construed as the party filing the IE, T&E, or FTZ documentation with CBP.

  1. Importers
  2. Freight Forwarders (US or Foreign)
  3. Customs Brokers
  4. Any Agent identified by a SCAC code or Filer Code. (CBP can also assign a SCSC code)
