U. S. Customs bonds are a government mandated product. Like all types of surety bonds, Customs bonds are available for purchase through either a Surety or a third party such as a Customs broker. TRG, a direct provider of Customs bonds, is now providing first time and experienced importers with “how-to” videos on obtaining a bond.
TRG’s website advertises a user friendly online application with a step by step guide to completion. The video series was launched by the company in an effort to further streamline the process. Any application, whether it be required by a broker or an insurance company, will require specific import related information. TRG hopes the video series will help to clarify any questions on why any of the information is needed. https://traderiskguaranty. com/BondLanding. aspx (https://traderiskguaranty. com/BondLanding. aspx)
