On January 18, 2011, CBP’s Revenue Division started to process and maintain bonds electronically. In order to submit bonds electronically, every attachment must be converted into a TIF format, preferably no larger than 300 dpi. Consolidation of all documents into a single attachment is recommended. CBP provides a suggested order for submission of documents. Multiple copies are no longer necessary. Sureties will be notified of approval via email. Although CBP will allow some notifications to be issued by regular mail, these notifications of approval could take up to six months longer than the email notification. The longer notification period may be designed to encourage participation by email, which will expedite the process, decrease the use of paper and reduce costs.
General questions about bond processing, as well as specific questions about the status of a particular bond application should be directed to (317) 614-4880, or via email to cbp.bondquestions@dhs.gov.
