An in-bond lets goods move under customs bond from one U.S. port to another without paying duties at the first port. Eilan Trade Solutions creates, clears and cancels in-bonds for importers and exporters moving freight through Laredo, so cargo keeps moving while the paperwork stays right.
The three types of in-bond
- IT (Immediate Transportation): goods move from the port of arrival to another U.S. port, where they are entered for consumption or placed in a warehouse
- T&E (Transportation and Exportation): goods move through the United States to a port where they leave the country, for example freight passing through on its way to Mexico
- IE (Immediate Exportation): goods that arrive at a port and are exported from that same port
How an in-bond works
- The in-bond is created (filed) with CBP before the goods move
- The goods travel under bond to the destination port
- The in-bond is cleared when the goods arrive and the movement is completed
- If the movement changes or does not happen, the in-bond can be cancelled
