You need to set [HttpPost] attribute:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult InsertCustomer(string ContactID, string Company, int Status, bool IsActive, string Comments, int Country, string Address1, string Address2, string City, string State, string PostalCode, string VatNo, string RegNo, string Phone, string Email)
    {
        bool process = false;

        return Json(process, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

It can be an issue with the wrong url. Use Url.Action() helper:

$.ajax({
        url: "@Url.Action("InsertCustomer", "Customer")",

Also you can check your browser console for error details.

Btw, if you want to send values from the form you can use the jquery .serializeArray() method:

$.ajax({
            url: "@Url.Action("InsertCustomer", "Customer")",
            data: $('form').serializeArray()
