If a voluntary Air AMS participant elects to create in-bond movements at the house air waybill level, does it need to have a custodian of bonded merchandise bond (activity code Type 2)?

When requesting an in-bond movement at the house air waybill level, a voluntary Air AMS participant is required to identify the onward bonded carrier.  If the onward carrier is an air carrier, it is identified by its carrier code.  Alternatively, the onward carrier may be identified by its bonded carrier identification number (IRS #, Social Security Number or CBP-assigned number). 

The voluntary Air AMS participant requesting the in-bond movement may obligate its bond by specifying its own bonded carrier identification number if it has the required activity code type 2 bond.  If the voluntary Air AMS participant does not have the required activity code Type 2 bond, it may specify the onward carrier identification of another bonded party.  The voluntary Air AMS participant must have authorization from the party whose bond is so obligated.
