Provided are the two links with information on filing ISF’s for Household Goods.  A bond is not needed, but the passport information and DOB are required.

 

6. Importer of Record Number/FTZ Applicant Identification Number Comment The importer of record number is not always known. For example, what number should be provided for household goods and personal effects where a foreign party without one of the required unique identification numbers is importing their own goods?

CBP Response

The ISF Importer must submit the IRS number, EIN, SSN, or CBP assigned number of the entity liable for payment of all duties and responsible for meeting all statutory and regulatory requirements incurred as a result of importation. For goods intended to be delivered to an FTZ, the IRS number, EIN, SSN, or CBP assigned number of the party filing the FTZ documentation with CBP must be provided. If this party does not have an IRS number, EIN, SSN, or CBP assigned number when the Importer Security Filing is submitted, this party must obtain one. For household goods and personal effects where a foreign party without one of the required unique identification numbers is importing their own goods, the ISF Importer may provide the importer of record’s passport number, country of issuance, and date of birth.

C. Household Goods and Personal Effects (ISF Type 03): 1. Can CBP please explain in more detail how household goods and personal effects shipments can be handled? I act as an agent for several hundred of these shipments per month. Typically, these shipments are on one bill of lading and are co-loaded in the same container. Can I provide my own IRS number as the Importer of Record number as long as I provide my clients information in the Consignee number field? Household goods (HHG) and personal effects (PE) can be handled by using a coded transaction Type 03 filing. In this question, the agent becomes the ISF Importer and would provide its own Importer of Record number as long as all of the actual consignees are properly identified within the ISF. Note: An IRS number or CAN may be provided for the ISF Importer and/or the Importer of Record as long as it has been previously registered with CBP (CBP Form 5106). If a social security number (SSN) or passport number is provided for the ISF Importer and/or the Importer of Record, the full name and date of birth must also be provided. Please note that this type of filing should also be used for household goods and personal effects shipments for returning members of the U.S. military, other U.S. government agencies, and their families. U.S. citizens working in a diplomatic capacity abroad must also meet these requirements. (See also: DIPLOMATIC SHIPMENTS)
