How would my Customs Broker know I purchased a Continuous Customs Surety Bond that is on file with US Customs?
Your bond # is electronically attached to your EIN or SSN or CBP#. Therefore, you can use any Customs Broker of your choice and your Customs Broker can query your EIN or SSN or CBP# with US Customs to see if your bond is active, the value of the bond and the validity.
