CBP Updates FAQs for ISF

CBP posted an updated version of its Frequently Asked Questions for Importer Security Filing with information from the agency's ISF changes that took effect May 14 (see 1804110010). Among other things, the FAQs now include a section on ISF-5 filings. CBP's final rule expanded the definition of "importer" for foreign cargo remaining on board (FROB). "For FROB cargo, the ISF Importer is the carrier or the [non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC)]; for [Immediate Exportation (IE) or Transportation and Exportation (T&E)] in-bond shipments, and goods to be delivered to [a Foreign-Trade Zone], the definition of ISF Importer includes the goods’ owner, purchaser, consignee, or agent such as a licensed customs broker," CBP said.
