You Don't Need to Purchase Your Customs Bond From Your Broker

Yes, you need an import bond to bring goods into the United States. No, you do not need to purchase this bond from your broker.

Odds are when you first began importing into the U.S. your broker did two things for you. 1) Purchased a customs bond from a surety agent and 2) began clearing your entries. What most importers don't know is that they can purchase the exact same bond directly from TRG. Your broker comes to a company such as TRG, purchases the bond, marks up the price and sells it to you. They are doing you a service, but you shouldn't have to pay for this service when you can easily purchase the import bond on your own.

Your Continuous Customs bond is a universal bond that is good at any port. The bond renews every year and your broker sends you a bill every year. This year, purchase it from TRG for a 3 year renewal term and notice the cost savings. Year after year this savings adds up.

TRG is rated A+ with the Better Business Bureau

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has implemented a new rating system for all companies within the database including Trade Risk Guaranty (TRG). Each company is rated on 17 different categories and given a letter grade from A+ to F. TRG is rated A+, the highest rating available.

The complaint history of a company is the most highly weighted of all of the factors. As of May 2009, TRG does not have any history of customer complaints through the BBB. TRG works hard to maintain positive customer relationships and values the trust it has earned from the company’s client base since 1991.

TRG import solutions offers U.S. Customs bonds, marine insurance and direct filing of consumption entries and ISF. The difference between TRG and other markets for import-related products is their marketing approach, which is reflected in their prices and excellent customer service. TRG contacts importers direct with the goal of introducing and educating. TRG is proud to have received this A+ BBB rating and will continue strive to maintain this rating.
