On February 12, 2010 ACE introduced several new bond activity codes that could be stored in the system. At the time, the ABI Importer/Bond Query (application ID ‘KI’) did not return results for the new activity codes.
As of today, your ‘KI’ queries will return results for the new bond activity codes. The CATAIR has been updated, as shown below, to reflect the new Bond Activity Codes and their respective alphabetic code that will be returned:
Note 3
This field has a dual use. For continuous bonds (bond type 8), the field will contain an alphabetic code representing the activity code for the CBP Bond Form (CBPF 301).
Valid Bond Activity Codes are:
Code Equivalent Description
CBPF 301
Activity Code
A A1 Importer or Broker
B 1a Drawback payment refund
C 1a1 Combination 1 and 1a
D 2 Custodian of bonded merchandise
E 3 International Carrier
F 3a Instruments of International Traffic
G 3a3 Combination 3 and 3a
H 4 Foreign Trade Zone Operator
J 5 Public Gauger
K 11 Airport Security Bond
L 12 ITC Exclusion Bond
