A Customs Bond is a financial guarantee between 3 parties, the surety, the principal, and CBP (Customs and Border Protection) that allows the CBP to make a claim against the customs bond if the Principal fails to pay the correct amount of money for duties and taxes based on the import transaction. Importers are required to have a customs bond for the importing of any commercial goods that are valued over $2,500 and are transported by air or ocean.
At The Surety Place, we understand that new tariffs and import requirements have dramatically increased requirements for customs bonds. New and increased tariffs mean that importers may need larger customs bonds than ever before. However, no matter what type or size of customs bond you need, or where you are located in the US, we can service your bonding needs. If you are an importer or a customs broker in need of a new customs bond, The Surety Place is here to help.
