Experience & Expertise

Founder and TRG President, John Michel, served as national underwriter for one of the largest Customs bond companies from 1985 to 1991. Through this experience he realized that certain products and services that were traditionally provided by the customs brokers could be provided directly from the insurance agency, resulting in lower prices and higher levels of expert customer service.

Surety Underwriters

TRG works directly with Hanover Insurance Company of Worcester, Massachusetts and Hudson Insurance Company of New York, New York, both of which are insurance companies approved by the Department of the U.S. Treasury to issue U.S. Customs bonds.

Multi-Year Billing

TRG gives access to a multi-year billing structure that can only be offered directly from a surety agent. Multi-year pricing decreases our administrative costs and we pass the savings along to you. A continuous import bond remains on file with U.S. Customs until it is terminated.

Bond Types

There are many types of bonds required by Customs & Border Protection (CBP) for various reasons. While TRG has the experience and expertise to provide every type, the most common types issued are the import bond, custodian bond, international carrier bond, foreign trade zone bond and airport security bond.

Refunds

Because we know that for most businesses the only constant is change, TRG offers a refund policy on unused premium for each unused annual bond period. Whether you need to increase your bond, change importer numbers, or cancel your policy for any reason, TRG will pro-rate your refund based on the number of annual bond periods you didn't use.
