Official abstract

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) collects bonds from parties engaging in transactions or activities with CBP to adequately protect the revenue of the United States and ensure compliance with U.S. statutes and regulations. This document proposes to amend the CBP regulations to require that most bonds be transmitted to CBP electronically via a specialized system by the surety securing the bond, or by the principal on a bond secured by cash in lieu of surety. The changes proposed in this document further centralize and streamline CBP's bond program.
