CBP Clarifies Informal Bond Requirements


On January 24, 2012, CBP posted Administrative Message12-000019 to clarify bond requirements for informal entries. Informal entries submitted as “live” entries with a CBP 7501 and duties, taxes and fees prior to release do not generally require a bond.   

Informal entries released under the CBP3461 immediate delivery/entry process where the entry summary is filed within 10 days after the release require a continuous or single transaction bond.  Duties on informal entries filed using the CBP3461 must be paid via ACH statement process.
