Purchase a Continuous Bond for Importer Security Filing

January 26th 2010 marked the official implementation of Importer Security Filing. Beginning this day all importers filing an ISF on their ocean cargo must have appropriate new bonding in place.

If…
1) You have a shipment entering the U.S. via ocean goods in the next year, and
2) You import using single transaction Customs bonds

…now is the time for you to take a look into purchasing a continuous import bond.

Multiple Single Entry Bonds or 1 Continuous Bond?

In the past, it was more economical for low volume importers to purchase single entry bonds. However, U.S. Customs is now requiring that if a single transaction bond is used to clear the entry an additional single entry ISF bond to be place. This increases the costs of single entry transactions; however, TRG has the solution.

Since 1991, TRG has provided continuous Customs bonds direct to importers. The continuous import bond will cover every shipment over a one year period (both entry and ISF). Call us today to see how you can save.

Applying for Continuous bond is easy.

 Send TRG a completed 1 page application and Power of Attorney form,
 TRG will contact you with any changes needed on the application,
 TRG will place the bond with U.S. Customs,
 You will provide your broker (or whomever clears your entries) with the new bond number.

It’s really that simple to decrease your import costs! Don’t pay the high costs of single entry bonds. If you are interested in obtain a continuous bond, please contact TRG or apply online today!
