Title: Electronic Bond Transmission  
Abstract:

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").
