Do we require a bonded 8000 code if we work with our agent overseas with full containerload imports where multiple house bills are consolidated together and destined to the same importer?

There is no requirement for a freight forwarder to have a bonded 8000 code. However, there are limitations to eHBL filing and to goods movement for non-bonded freight forwarders.

For example, a non-bonded 8000 code cannot file a ‘consolidated’ eHBL and a non-bonded 8000 CCN can only move to the warehouse / sublocation code of the carrier above it.
