Customs Bond 海关保证金

Customs Bond  海关保证金

A
customs bond, also known as an import bond or surety bond, is a legal
document that serves as a financial guarantee between the importer,
customs authorities, and a third-party surety or insurance company.
海关保证金，也称为进口保证金或担保保证金，是一份法律文件，作为进口商、海关当局和第三方担保公司或保险公司之间的财务担保。其目的是确保遵守海关法规以及支付进口关税、税费和费用。

Its purpose is to ensure compliance with customs regulations and the payment of import duties, taxes, and fees. 它向海关当局提供保证，确保他们能够收到进口商所欠的必要财务义务。

It
provides assurance to customs authorities that they will receive the
necessary financial obligations owed by the importer. It acts as a
commitment from the surety or insurance company to cover the importer’s
financial obligations if they fail to meet their customs duties or other
requirements.
它作为担保公司或保险公司的一种承诺，如果进口商未能履行其海关义务或其他要求，担保公司或保险公司将承担进口商的财务义务。

The
customs bond is a crucial requirement for importers to facilitate the
smooth clearance of goods through customs and enable the timely release
of cargo.海关保证金是进口商顺利通过海关清关并及时放行货物的重要要求。

Continuous Customs Bond  连续海关保证金

A
Continuous Customs Bond, also known as an Annual Bond or a Continuous
Transaction Bond, is a type of customs bond that is valid for a period
of one year from the date of issuance.
连续海关保证金，也称为年度保证金或连续交易保证金，是一种自签发之日起有效期为一年的海关保证金。

Unlike
a single transaction bond that covers only one specific shipment, a
continuous bond covers all of an importer’s shipments during that
one-year period.与仅涵盖单个特定货物的单次交易保证金不同，连续保证金涵盖进口商在这一年期间的所有货物。

This
type of bond simplifies the import process by eliminating the need for
importers to purchase separate bonds for each
shipment.这种类型的保证金通过消除进口商为每次货物单独购买保证金的需要来简化进口过程。

 It
also offers more flexibility since it automatically renews annually
unless canceled by the importer, the surety, or U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP).它还提供了更多的灵活性，因为它会自动每年续约，除非被进口商、担保公司或美国海关和边境保护局（CBP）取消。

A
continuous customs bond ensures that the importer fulfills their
obligations with CBP regarding the payment of duties, taxes, and fees as
well as adherence to applicable laws and
regulations.连续海关保证金确保进口商履行其在支付关税、税款和费用以及遵守适用法律法规方面对 CBP
的义务。它由进口商（委托人）、担保公司（担保人）和 CBP（受益人）之间的法律协议组成。

It
consists of a legal agreement between the importer (principal), the
surety company (guarantor), and CBP (obligee). If an importer fails to
meet their obligations, the surety company is liable for the outstanding
duties, taxes, fees, or penalties.如果进口商未能履行其义务，担保公司将对未支付的关税、税款、费用或罚款负责。
