Truck In-bonds
What is a Customs bond?
A Customs bond is a contract that is given to insure the performance of an obligation or obligations imposed by law or regulation. A bond is like an insurance policy that is paid to the U.S. Customs Service if a required act is not performed. Bonds have a number of uses in the Customs Service. The most common use allows importers to take possession of their goods before all Customs formalities are completed. Another common use allows a carrier to move goods that have not been entered from one place to another.
All parties that import merchandise into the United States for commercial purposes or transport imported merchandise through the United States must have a Customs Bond.
[
Who are the parties to a Customs bond?
Usually, there are three parties to a Customs bond: the principal, the surety and the beneficiary. The principal on a Customs bond can be an importer, a broker, a carrier, a bonded warehouse proprietor, a foreign trade zone operator or any one of a number of other parties that seek to do business with Customs.
What are the main types of bonds?
Continuous Bond
A continuous bond is normally obtained by importers who have a large number of entries and/or imports through several ports of entry during a given year. A continuous bond is valid until it is terminated by the surety or the principal. It does not have to be renewed each year. The minimum bond amount for continuous bonds will be $50,000 or 10 percent of the total taxes and fees paid in the previous 12-month period whichever is greater. Please note that all bond amounts will be rounded up to the next whole dollar amount in multiples of $1000.
Single Entry Bond
Importers obtain a single entry bond for a single shipment. It covers only the entry or transaction for which it was written. The bond amount for a single entry bond is not less than the total entered value plus all duties, taxes, and fees. If merchandise is subject to other federal agency requirements or is restricted merchandise, the bond amount set is not less than three times the total entered value of the merchandise.
