In-bond movement
Also called: IT · T& E · IE · CBP Form 7512
The US system for moving imported goods under customs bond without paying duty, for example from the port of arrival to an inland port for entry (immediate transportation), through the US to another country (transportation and exportation), or directly back out (immediate exportation). Movements are filed electronically and must close within set time limits.
In practice
Unclosed in-bond movements create liability for the bonded carrier and can trigger penalties.
