In this document CBP is soliciting
comments concerning the following
information collection:
Title: Importation Bond Structure.
OMB Number: 1651–0050.
Form Number: CBP Forms 301 and
5297.
Abstract: Bonds are used to assure
that duties, taxes, charges, penalties,
and reimbursable expenses owed to the
Government are paid; to facilitate the
movement of cargo and conveyances
through CBP processing; and to provide
legal recourse for the Government for
noncompliance with laws and
regulations. Each person who is
required by law or regulation to post a
bond in order to secure a Customs
transaction must submit the bond on
CBP Form 301 which is available at:
https://forms.cbp.gov/pdf/CBP_Form_
301.pdf.
Surety bonds are usually executed by
an agent of the surety. The surety
company grants authority to the agent
via a Corporate Surety Power of
Attorney, CBP Form 5297. This power is
vested with CBP so that when a bond is
filed, the validity of the authority of the
agent executing the bond and the name
of the surety can be verified to the
surety’s grant. CBP Form 5297 is
available at: https://forms.cbp.gov/pdf/
CBP_Form_5297.pdf. Bonds are
required pursuant to 19 U.S.C.1608 and
1623; 22 U.S.C. 463; 19 CFR Part 113.
Current Actions: This submission is
being made to extend the expiration
date with no change to the burden hours
or to CBP Forms 301 or 5297.
Type of Review: Extension (without
change).
