ISF Trade Outreach Program Says FILE FILE FILE

Mike Laden, President TRG Direct attended an East Coast CBP trade outreach program last week and reports that Customs says you must be filing. There are still so many skeptics out there saying that January 2010 will not be the deadline for ISF. However, Rich Dinucci has reported that over 2million ISFs have been filed and the trade is making progress.

One startling thing that has come up in a few conversations with importers is that the Customs Reauthorization Bill has language that hints that the ISF may be used for compartive purposes, such as the data being available to other Government Agencies for pre-screening purposes. At this point this is speculation so don't quote us on that. Just be aware.

Stayed tuned to keep updated on importer security filing or contact us with your ISF questions.
