Ship-to name and address
Container stuffing location
Consolidator (stuffer) name and address
Importer of record number/foreign trade zone applicant identification number
Consignee number(s)
Country of origin
Commodity Harmonized Tariff Schedule number to six (6) digits
Penalties can be assessed if the importer does not file a complete ISF 24 hours before the shipment is loaded on to the vessel. Problems/challenges can occur when the importer is trying to gather accurate information and the seller and manufacturer are not the same entity. Another issue arises when the importer does not want the seller to know where the goods are to be delivered."
