Bond Estimator
Get a ballpark US customs bond cost. Planning only — premiums vary by surety and risk class.
How bonds work
- Single transaction bond: usually 1–3% of duties, taxes, and penalties CBP could assess. Per 19 CFR §113. Minimum coverage = estimated duties + taxes + penalties.
- Continuous bond: covers all entries for 12 months. CBP minimum is $25,000 or 10% of prior year duties, whichever is higher. Per 19 CFR §113.12.
- Your surety may require personal credit or company financials. Strong import history lowers the rate.
