What is the Importer Self-Assessment Program (ISA)?
The ISA is a new program of Customs & Border Protection (CBP) that goes hand in hand with the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT). ISA is a voluntary program providing support and recognition for resident importers that work with the CBP to improve trade compliance. ISA participants assume responsibility for self-assessment. They must control their environment and activities, assess areas of risk, and communicate and monitor their Customs operations.
