The Customs bond guarantees Customs & Border Protection that if they cannot collect monies due from the Principal they can seek remedy, up to the bond amount, from the Insurance/Surety company.

10/2009 TRG Releases Restructured Continuous Customs Bond Online Application

Barrington, IL (PRWEB) October 19, 2009 -- Every company that imports into the United States must secure the shipment with a U.S. Customs bond. This bond is a guarantee to Customs & Border Protection that any duties or taxes and any fines or penalties assessed on the goods will be paid. In the past, most importers acquired this through a Customs broker, but a new trend has gained momentum in the industry. TRG, a surety agent, offers the importer a cost savings option on the continuous customs bond by cutting out the third party mark-up.

Even so, this government mandated "contract" is purchased on a continuous basis and therefore is a never-ending recurring cost. TRG entered the Customs bond market back in 1991 as a direct provider. Prior to offering this option, an importer purchased the bond from a Customs broker, who had obtained the bond from a Surety agent. By cutting out the middle man, TRG found a niche in the market and has grown over the past 18 years.
