Customs Bond - Streamline Your Foreign Trade Operations
Replace cash deposits and bank guarantees with a more flexible and cost-effective solution for your import and export operations.
What is a Customs Bond?
A Customs Bond is an instrument that ensures compliance with customs and tax obligations related to foreign trade operations, in accordance with Federal Revenue regulations.
It is a modern alternative to traditional cash deposits or bank guarantees, providing greater flexibility and efficiency for companies operating in international trade.
The Federal Revenue is the beneficiary of this guarantee, and the insurance ensures that if the principal fails to comply with responsibilities related to the Responsibility Term (Decree No. 6.759/2009), taxes suspended by the Special Customs Regime will be compensated.
