What is the meaning of InBond?
• Transportation Entry (CBP 7512), defined in regulations
under19 CFR, Chapter 18.
–
Defined: Chapter 18 covers the transportation of merchandise that has entered the Customs
Territory of the United States but is being transported to another port for either Entry or
exportation.
• CBP allows cargo to move through the US prior to the cargo
being cleared by CBP. It is moved under the coverage of a
Customs custodial bond. The bond acts as an insurance
policy against which CBP will assess any penalties that may be
levied against the bond holder for failure to properly follow
CBP procedures, declare and clear in-bond cargo.
• Carrier must have a customs custodial bond in order to carry
“in-bond” merchandise.
Bonded Carriers
• Carriers must be bonded
– Merchandise transported from one port to another in the USA In-Bond
must be delivered to a:
•
•
•
•
Common carrier (truck, airline, railroad, steamship or other transportation line
Contract Carrier
Freight Forwarder
Private Carrier
This is bonded for that purpose!
Why is In-Bond Used?
• To transit from merchandise from one Port of entry to another
Port.
• Transit the USA only to ultimately export to another Foreign
country (For example, Mexico or Canada)
• Transit the USA to another U.S. City with intent to make an
import entry for consumption or placed in a bonded
warehouse or Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ)
• Moving merchandise between two shipping companies within
a Port of export
Benefits of Using In-Bond
• To avoid the payment of Customs Duties and Fees
• Allows the movement of cargo cleared at another designated
Customs Port
• Can be initiated by Customs Brokers, Freight Forwarders, Trucking
Companies, railroads, importers, Foreign Trade Zones.
• Allows the filing of in-bond movements electronically via “QP” for
quick Customs processing and release of cargo.
• Allows some regulatory flexibility, e.g. marking requirements if not
going to be consumed in the USA.

T&E
(Transportation & Exportation)

shipment can be
exported or
cancelled in Pharr
and an IE will be
generated to export
it to Mexico
IT (Immediate Transportation)
Example A shipment can
be moved from
Canada to Pharr, TX
but can not be
exported, an IE will
have to be
generated to be
able to export it
T&E (Transportation & Exportation)

MEXICO
Mexican Pedimento
• It is required that the pedimento number be listed on the
inbond. Note: Not required by T&E Entry types.
• WHY?
You must have proof that the merchandise that was exported
was imported into Mexico.
If a pedimento number is
changed, we must make an amendment to our inbond which
results in delays.
Merchandise description and quantities must match the
pedimento data.

Amending the In-bond
CBP 7512
• When the inbond has been accepted by CBP either manually or
electronically any changes are considered an amendment.
• Samples: Pedimento #, Quantities, Value, weight, bridge, etc.
• CBP needs to authorize an amendment, a letter has to be
submitted to CBP, once authorized, make the change and
then re-submit the in-bond again.
Since these are handled
separately then the average registration/cancellation of inbonds, these usually take more then 1 day for processing.
