Who is responsible for ensuring that the ISF has met all of its requirements?
The Import Security Filing (ISF) is required by the party causing the goods to enter the US, known as the ISF Importer. The ISF Importer, as a business decision, may designate an authorized agent to file the Importer Security Filing on its behalf. However, the ISF Importer is ultimately responsible for the timely, accurate and complete submission of the ISF filing.
