How does the agent agree in writing to allow her bond to be used for an importer who does not have a bond and why is this necessary? Is there draft language for such agreement? Will the agreement be acceptable on a per-ISF basis, a blanket basis, or either (at the filer’s option)?

The written agreement can be a power of attorney or other similar document. The agreement must make it clear that the agent is granting the ISF Importer the authority to use his/her bond for ISF purposes. CBP will not intervene in how this agreement is to be drawn up.
