What: Importers are responsible for declaring 10 data elements to U.S. Customs that correspond with 2 data elements filed by Carrier.
Where: ISF data must be transmitted via ABI to U.S. Customs
When: Data filed by importers must match to Carrier's information no less than 24 business hours prior to departure from foreign port of lading or transshipment port.

How: While importers may choose from a wide range of ISF filers, it is important to consult a knowledgeable filer like RGF to prevent fines and comply with increasingly difficult protocol/regulations.
