What Is A Customs Bond?

A Customs Bond is a contract between three parties (CBP, a principal, a surety) to ensure all the duties and fees associated with the shipment are paid to Customs. All entries must be covered by an import bond in order to make formal entry of merchandise into the United States.   


The bond serves to secure potential duties, taxes, and fees owed to CBP and guarantee performance of all Customs regulations requirements – but it is not insurance. The bond is to be filed on CBP form 301 and is a contract between the importer and CBP that protects Customs’ interests.There are a number of surety companies who issue these bonds.
