Can Importers expect that their NVOCCs and Customs Brokers will ISF file for them?
Don’t assume that the NVOCC and/or Customs Broker will file the ISF on your behalf. This arrangement must be made separately from the “import” process. In addition, expect additional costs will be added to the process. It is a benefit for importers to check out other ISF services being offered in the marketplace.
