Continuous customs bond
A continuous customs bond covers all of your U.S. import entries for a year at every port — ideal for regular importers. Niel Customs can help arrange one as part of your brokerage service.
One bond for a full year
A continuous bond stays in force for 12 months and covers all your entries nationwide, so you are not arranging a new bond for each shipment.
Best for frequent importers
If you import more than a few times a year, a continuous bond is usually more economical and convenient than buying a single-entry bond each time.
Covers duties, taxes and fees
The bond guarantees payment of duties, taxes and fees to CBP and compliance with customs regulations. It is a guarantee, not insurance for your goods.
We help arrange it
Niel Customs can help arrange a continuous bond through a surety as part of your brokerage service. We are a licensed customs broker, not a surety underwriter.
