U.S. Customs Plans to Issue Penalties for ISF-5 Noncompliance

On March 15th, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will began enforcement of mandatory ISF-5 filing for shipments that dock in the United States and move in bond to Canada and Mexico.

U.S. Customs stated that they plan to pursue noncompliance through liquidated damages claims rather than holding the cargo.  Please be sure that your company is protected from liability by working with your trading partners to ensure the ISF-5 is filed.
