Customs Bond Calculator FAQs

How much does a customs bond cost?

A continuous customs bond typically costs $200-$1,000+ per year. The bond amount is calculated as 10% of your annual duties, taxes, and fees, with a $50,000 minimum. The annual premium is 0.5%-2% of the bond amount. Single entry bonds are priced per shipment based on the value of goods plus estimated duties and taxes.

Does CBP require a customs bond for all imports?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection requires a customs surety bond for all commercial imports valued over $2,500. The bond ensures payment of import duties, taxes, and fees and guarantees compliance with all CBP regulations. Both continuous and single entry bonds satisfy this requirement under 19 CFR 113.

Should I get a continuous or single entry customs bond?

If you import goods more than once per year, a continuous customs bond is almost always more cost-effective. A single entry bond is best for one-time imports. Most importers choose continuous bonds because they cover unlimited shipments for 12 months and simplify the customs clearance process.
