Attention: Importer, Surety and Carrier ACE Portal Accounts
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has added additional information to the “Bond Sufficiency Details” portlet. If the bond is insufficient the portlet will now display the “Insufficiency Reason.” A “Comment” field has also been provided. Up until this point, the only way the trade community could learn why a particular bond was insufficient was if they communicated directly with the knowledgeable CBP office/officer. This functionality will provide immediate, detailed information as to why a bond has been rendered insufficient.
Insufficiency reasons are as follows:
• Bond Liability Amount Must Be Increased – Import Volume
• Bond Liability Amount Must Be Increased – Outstanding Debt
• Bond Liability Amount Must Be Increased – Passenger/Railcar Fees
• Address Incorrect – Mail Being Returned as “Undeliverable”
• Debit Vouchers Associated with a Party on the Bond
• Invalid Termination Request Filed w/CBP
• Required Documentation Missing
• Invalid EIN Listed on the Bond
• Failure to Deposit Required Cash-in-Lieu of Surety
• Other – See Comments
