What is a U.S. Customs Bond?
A Customs bond is a financial guaranty between the Insurance(Surety), the Importer (Principal), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The Customs bond guarantees CBP that if they cannot collect duties due from the importer they can seek remedy, up to the bond amount, from the Insurance(Surety) Company. The Customs bond also indemnifies the Insurance (Surety) Company, allowing them to use any legal means to collect from the Principal any monies that were paid to CBP on the Principal’s behalf.
