Avoid Penalties: ISF, FDA & FCC
US Customs requires the Importer Security Filing (ISF “10+2”) at least 24 hours before vessel loading — late or wrong filings draw heavy fines. Food, pharma and cosmetics need FDA compliance; electronics need FCC. Our team coordinates these with your US customs broker so shipments clear cleanly.
