What is the Importer to do when sellers and manufactures are not organized to generate the documents containing the ISF data within the required time frame?
The importer must communicate the process change of the ISF requirements to their foreign suppliers. Critical attention to detail is a must. The importer may incur unnecessary costs (CBP liquidated damages) and/or possible shipment delays for mistakes made by their off-shore suppliers. It’s recommended, the importer provide their foreign suppliers a means to which they can submit electronically ISF data specific relative to the importer requirements.
