What We Do
Securing Your Import Obligations
A customs bond is a contract between you (the importer), a surety company, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It guarantees that all duties, taxes, and fees owed to the government will be paid, and that all laws and regulations will be followed.
DM Customs Brokerage helps you determine the right type and amount of bond for your operations, whether you're shipping a single container or managing ongoing imports throughout the year.
Bond Types
Single-Entry vs. Continuous Bonds
Continuous Bond
An annual bond covering all imports for a 12-month period. Cost-effective for businesses with regular import activity — typically priced at a flat annual rate.
PGA-Regulated Bonds
Shipments requiring FDA, EPA, CPSC, or other PGA clearance often require tripled bond amounts. We calculate the correct surety to avoid delays.
