Immediate Transportation Bond

Under existing CBP regulations, imported goods may arrive at one US Port of entry and then be transported by a bonded carrier to another US Port of entry without the merchandise being appraised or assessed duties. Such “in-bond movement” requires the filing of a transportation entry ( CBP form 7512 / sample) that documents the movement of the goods and payment of a bond, which has subsidiary requirements pertaining to receipt, safekeeping, and disposition of the bonded merchandise. Following in-bond shipment, the goods may then be either exported or entered officially into the united states with duties paid at the destination port.

Immediate Transportation (IT)

Used to move merchandise in bond without paying duty and taxes and no examination possible until the goods arrive at the port of destination and entry is filed. (moving merchandise between two ports of entry within the customs territory of the united states for entry in the port of destination)

Immediate Exportation (IE)

Used to export merchandise from the same port of origin. (moving merchandise between two shipping companies within a port of entry for export ).

T and E - Transportation and Exportation

Used to move and export merchandise at another port, other than port of origin. (note: transportation and exportation (t and e) customs bond: required for products to move through the united states) (moving merchandise between two ports of entry within the customs territory of the us for export out of the port of destination) (example: from Canada to USA and to other country).

TIB - Temporary Import Bond ("Temporary Importation under bond")

A temporary import bond or TIB ("temporary importation under bond") is required when goods are brought into the united states without payment of duty, by posting a bond to guarantee that they will be exported. The amount of the bond is usually double the estimated duties. Goods imported under a temporary import bond can remain in either country without the payment of duty for up to a year. These goods must be brought back to the country of export before the expiration of the bond period to avoid the assessment of liquidated damages in the amount of the bond. If the goods are not exported, the bond is forfeited, usually in the amount of twice the value of the customs duties that would have been payable on the products. The one year period for exportation can be extended upon application to the port director. The importer will want to enter merchandise using a temporary import bond under the following circumstances: importing samples for testing, inspection, for making a purchasing decision, or to display a sample at a trade fair or other sales show; or an importer may wish to import merchandise and to further manufacture (repair) it and then export the finished product.

WDT: Withdrawal for Transportation - used to move merchandise in bond from one bonded warehouse to another in a different port.

WDIE: Warehouse Withdrawal for Immediate Exportation - used to export merchandise in the same port of export as the bonded warehouse.

WDTE: Warehouse Withdrawal for Transportation and Exportation - used to export merchandise at another port than the port where the bonded warehouse is located.

TACOM - Transport Air Cargo Manifest. It is the same to it, but used by the same airline. All the rules it apply. It must be the same airline. If airline changes then it must be done. Every transportation in bond requires bonded carrier.

Important!: the first carrier is liable for the shipment. I. E. If during a bonded transportation carriers will change, then the first carrier is still liable for the entire shipment. If you have multiple carriers then the best to do multiple it. In this case carrier's liability changes from one carrier to another.

It can be filed by anyone with interest. No power of attorney is required. I. E. It can be filed by a carrier, trucker, ff, customs broker etc. But it must be kept in bond.

Since it is filed, the first carrier has 5 (five) working days to move goods. After those 5 days the it automatically canceled.

Explosive and prohibited goods are not allowed for it unless approved by an appropriate agency.

Baggage in bond (not too often in the real life): used when a salesman carries a high value baggage. The baggage moves separately from the passenger. All items sealed and marked by red tags, which indicate it is under customs. Do not open.

Penalties imposed as liquidated damages under the carrier's bond for shortage, failure to deliver or irregular delivery: in case of shortage, failure to deliver or delivery direct to the consignee or other person of any merchandise free of duty, a minimum of $50 and a maximum of $100, in anyone shipment, to be determined by the port director.

If duty cannot be estimated the penalty is 70% of the value shown on the manifest. In case of unauthorized delivery to a wrong person of merchandise subject to duty, an amount equal to to one and one-quarter (1. 25) times the estimated duties will be imposed. If duty cannot be estimated the penalty is 70% of the value shown on the manifest.
