Customs Bonds
So, What's a Customs Bond?
A U.S. customs bond is a legal contract that financially guarantees U.S. customs to receive payment of all customs duties, taxes and fees at the time of import, in case importer fails to pay them when processing their goods through U.S. customs. Depending on Your Needs You Should Obtain a Single or Continuous Bond

What's My Risk?
How much you value no having delayed shipments? How much storage fees are you paying, that you shouldn't? Are your goods being placed on-hold for not having a bond in place at the time of entry? Are you getting last-minute single bonds every time as you haven't decided which is best for your situation? A lack of clarity may already be costing you a lot more.
