An
Immediate Transportation Entry(IT)is filed with U.S.Customs and Border
Protection(CBP)when imported goods arrive at a United States port of
entry to another port of entry within the United States as the final
destination.
An IT must be filed at the first port of arrival in
order for an"in-bond"movement to take place.When filing an IT,the
importer,customs broker or carrier must be bonded to be assigned an
in-bond number.
Importers that do not have an IRS number are
encouraged to have a broker or carrier obtain the in-bond number on
their behalf and arrange having the goods sent in-bond to the final
destination.Be aware there may be fees involved for service.
A
CBP bond can be obtained from the U.S.Department of the Treasury
licensed surety company,please visit the DOT website.The in-bond numbers
are issued at the ports of entry.To obtain an in-bond number,you can
call your local port of entry and ask for the in-bond desk or the
in-bond issuance officer.
Carriers,customs brokers or freight
forwarders handling operations requesting in-bond numbers are required
to supply the following information to the port:
CBP filer code or CBP importer number(IRS number reported to CBP)or a SCAC carrier code.CBP
The quantity of numbers requested(blocks of numbers are assigned by the port of entry ranging from 100-500,000 at a time).
