What is a CBP bonded carrier?
Carriers must acquire a special CBP bond
to become a CBP bonded carrier
As defined by CBP:
A bonded carrier can be
any common carrier, contract carrier, freight forwarder,
or private carrier bonded (with CBP) for the purpose of
moving merchandise still under CBP control. The carrier
is responsible for the safeguarding and proper delivery
of bonded cargo and its corresponding documentation from
the origination of the bonded movement until it is delivered
and receipted for at its destination.
To insure shipments are delivered
to the port of destination intact, carriers should seal conveyances
or compartments containing bonded merchandise with proper
CBP seals. If the shipment cannot be placed in a sealed container
or conveyance, the carrier should furnish and attach to each
package a CBP bonded package warning label (as described
in regulation).
Carriers bonded under CBP Regulations
to transport merchandise in-bond will incur claims for liquidated
damages when shipments are not properly transported and delivered
to CBP at destination or when documents that are mishandled
contribute to improper delivery.
How can a carrier
become CBP Bonded?
Call or write for the forms, list
of requirements, and the applicable US CBP Service regulations
from the CBP District office in Minneapolis.
