For importers navigating the complexities of U.S. customs regulations, working with a licensed broker can mean the difference between timely cargo release and costly delays. Leslie L. Boskey can assist clients with customs entry preparation, ensuring that commercial invoices, packing lists, and supporting documentation are properly assembled before shipment arrives at a U.S. port of entry.

Importer Security Filing — commonly known as ISF or the 10+2 rule — is a mandatory CBP requirement for ocean freight shipments. Meeting ISF filing requirements ahead of vessel departure is essential to avoid penalties and cargo holds.
