The value of a Customs Bond refers to a “continuous” or annual import bond that covers all your imports over a 12-month period, regardless of the value of any single shipment (the value of a shipment can far exceed $50K). For example, $50,000 is the minimum Continuous Customs Bond size allowed by the CBP. Importers qualify to purchase a $50K bond if their duties, taxes, and fees paid to the CBP over the previous 12 months were less than $500K. New Importers can also purchase a $50K bond without a 12-month history, based on the assumption that their first-year duties, etc. will be less that $500,000.
