In-Bond Shipment
Imported cargo moving under Customs bond before it has been formally entered.
Also known as: in-bond, immediate transportation
What is In-Bond Shipment?
An in-bond shipment moves imported cargo from the port of arrival to another U.S. port or facility, or out of the country, before Customs entry and duty payment. A bonded carrier carries it under a Customs bond, and the common types are immediate transportation (IT) to another U.S. port, transportation and exportation (T&E), and immediate exportation (IE). The cargo must reach its destination within 30 days, and entry and duties are handled there.
How Endless handles it
Endless tracks the shipment from origin to the final warehouse, so an in-bond leg to an inland port is part of the same inbound timeline.
