A CBP single transaction or continuous bond (CBP Form 301 or its electronic equivalent) may be obtained from a surety company. CBP cannot recommend any particular surety. Please visit the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service website and research the List of Certified Surety Companies to find a company. Sureties will charge a fee for their services, and CBP does not know or control those rates.

To obtain a bond, you must provide the surety with the CBP importer account identification number assigned to you when the CBP Form 5106 was processed. It is essential to ensuring this form has been processed when working with the surety to obtain a bond.
