What Action is Required by Importers?
· Importers need to determine who at the company will be responsible for gathering and sending the required information. · Importers should consider including some of the data elements on their commercial invoices or packing slips (6 digit HTS number, Container Stuffing Location, Consolidator name and address, etc.) to facilitate the ISF process. Will there be a fee associated with the ISF filings? Yes, the fee will either be part of existing clearance rates or separate depending on our client’s requirements. The fee will be based on the complexity of the transaction and the level of validation required. Mid-America Overseas will determine the pricing for the ISF filing once the final rule is published by U.S. Customs and Mid-America Overseas has completed our system applications.
