How Does My Customs Broker Know I Placed My Own Bond?

TRG will notify your Customs broker once you decide the continual cost savings of purchasing your continuous Customs bond on your own is the right choice for you, all you need to do is fill out the application.

This is because the broker may decide to terminate the existing bond without notifying TRG. TRG will take care of the termination of the current Customs bond so there is no need to tell your broker until the new bond is in place. This is guaranty, there is no lapse in coverage.
