Publication ID: 2026

Title: Electronic Bond Transmission
Abstract: This rulemaking amends 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 amendments eliminate the more onerous and inefficient paper-based bond application and approval processes. Moving forward, the amendments would implement the successful National Customs Automation Program test for electronic bonds ("eBonds").
