1685-AA24 202504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1685 Customs Revenue Functions CUSTREV 1600 Department of Homeland Security DHS Electronic Bond Transmission

This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes to amend the CBP regulations to require that most bonds be transmitted to CBP electronically via a specialized system by the surety securing the bond, or by the principal on a bond secured by cash in lieu of surety.  The proposed amendments eliminate the more onerous and inefficient paper-based bond application and approval processes.  Moving forward, the proposed amendments would implement the successful National Customs Automation Program test for electronic bonds ("eBonds").
