ACE Highway 54 – When should I use ACE In-Bond?

If you are not presently set up with an account, please contact GeTS to get you set up. In order to be eligible to transport freight in bond into the U.S., you must also be a bonded carrier. For more information on becoming a bonded carrier please see the application form and instructions from CBP. https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Bonds%20General%20Guidelines.pdf

Normally when moving goods in bond into the U.S., the bond information is submitted to CBP by a customs broker through the Automated Broker Interface. This is known as a QP in-bond. But under ACE eManifest, you have the option to submit the bond information yourself by supplying some extra information as part of your manifest. This is known as an ACE in-bond. 

If you do elect to create your own bonds, you must take into consideration factors such as whether your customer requires you to go through their broker for bonds, or if a broker has already filed a bond for your shipment. It’s important to make sure that no other party is filing a bond for the same shipment.
