It is possible to entry container information into an ISF, but should this be done?
We suggest that it is truly best if container and equipment information is not entered. The container information is not pulled into the customs entry, is not required in either the entry or ISF, and can be more problematic than helpful with the Importer Security Filing. If incorrect information is entered, the ISF can be rejected, which is a problem because a rejected ISF is like not filing an ISF at all.

ISF Customs Bond FAQs from CBP
U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently released an updated list of FAQs on their website. You can download a copy of the FAQs here.
Within the FAQs is information on the Customs bond that will need to guarantee the importer security filing. In most cases the importer will have a continuous customs bond already on file and not need to engage in the more complicated ISF bond.
