What is this bond?

An Airport Customs Bond is a federal surety bond required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for entities operating within secured airport areas. It guarantees that the bonded party will comply with all federal customs regulations, including the proper handling of imported merchandise and accurate reporting.

Who needs it?

Businesses and individuals who need regular access to secured customs areas at international airports typically require this bond. This often includes airlines, cargo handlers, catering services, ground maintenance crews, and airport retail operators.

Why is it required?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection requires this bond to protect national security and safeguard federal revenue. It provides a financial guarantee that personnel will not mishandle dutiable goods or violate customs protocols while in restricted zones.
