    Answer: 10% of duties, taxes, and fees paid, minimum $50,000

    CBP calculates the continuous bond amount as 10% of duties, taxes, and fees paid in the prior year, with a $50,000 minimum.

  3. Which type of bond must be filed when an importer seeks to release goods from CBP custody before all formalities are completed under a carnet?

    Answer: A.T.A. carnet bond

    An A.T.A. carnet bond guarantees that goods admitted under the carnet will be re-exported or duties paid if they remain in the country.

  4. If CBP determines that an importer's bond is insufficient, what action can CBP require?

    Answer: Bond strengthening or replacement with a higher-amount bond

    CBP may demand bond strengthening, requiring the importer to increase the bond amount or replace it with a sufficient bond.

  5. A warehouse proprietor's bond ensures compliance with which primary obligation?

    Answer: Proper storage and accountability for all goods deposited in a bonded warehouse
