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.
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.
About our Surety Partners
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.
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.
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.
As part of our courtesy service, TRG acts as a liaison for Importers with U.S. Customs Agencies. Our in-house claims analysts assist importers with prompt and professional compliance response to U.S. Customs claims.
TRG issues your bond in accordance with CBP requirements and handles any and all bond changes at no additional charge.
All TRG customers are automatically enrolled in our Loyalty Program which includes in-house claims assistance, access to our web-based Customs Reporting system Eagle Eye, manifest confidentiality assistance, and other specialty discounts! You also have unlimited access to our Customer Loyalty Advocate who brings excellence to every client interaction and will assist you with any needs you have as a TRG client.
TRG has developed a new way to explore and analyze your import data while maintaining compliance with CBP. This software includes robust reporting as well as our proprietary Importer Score which offers a way to gauge your level of compliance with U.S. Customs & Border Protection at a single glance. Some of the reports included are bond sufficiency, entry history, claims data and analysis, unliquidated entries, and etc.
