US In-Bond Management

Track arrive and export in-bond shipments through every stage — from filing with CBP to final closure, with full compliance and audit trail.

End-to-End In-Bond Control

Full Lifecycle

Manage every in-bond movement from origination port through transit to final destination or export — all in one place.

Auto-Close with ACI

When a linked ACI manifest clears CBSA, the corresponding in-bond is automatically closed in CBP — no manual follow-up.

CBP Compliance

All in-bond filings are validated against CBP ACE requirements before transmission. Overdue bonds trigger automatic alerts.

Real-Time Tracking

Live status dashboard shows every active in-bond with current location, days in transit, and next required action.

How In-Bond Management Works

Track every stage of the in-bond lifecycle.

1

Create In-Bond

File a QP (Immediate Transportation) or T&E (Transportation and Exportation) in-bond via ACE. TruckerPro submits directly to CBP.

2

Ship to Destination

Track the shipment in transit. Overdue bond alerts fire automatically if the movement hasn't arrived within CBP's timeline.

3

Arrive at Port

File arrival at the destination port of entry. CBP receipt is logged and status updated in real time on your dashboard.

4

Close or Export

Close the in-bond via US entry, exportation, or auto-close when a linked ACI manifest is confirmed by CBSA.

In-Bond Features

Built for carriers and brokers managing high-volume cross-border traffic.

QP In-Bond Filing

File Immediate Transportation (IT) in-bonds directly to CBP ACE. All required data fields validated before submission.

Arrival Processing

Report arrival at destination port with one click. CBP acknowledgment is stored and timestamped for compliance records.

Export Management

File exportation to close in-bonds with proof of export. Tracks T&E movements all the way to the Canadian border.

ACI Linking

Link in-bonds to ACI eManifests. When CBSA confirms the ACI, the in-bond auto-closes in CBP — eliminating manual steps.

Status Dashboard

At-a-glance view of all active in-bonds with aging indicators, overdue alerts, and next-action requirements highlighted.

Audit Trail

Every event — filing, arrival, amendment, closure — is logged with timestamp, user, and CBP acknowledgment for full auditability.

In-Bond FAQ

A US in-bond shipment is foreign merchandise that moves through the United States under CBP bond without being formally entered into US commerce. Common types include Immediate Transportation (IT) — moving to another US port for entry — and Transportation and Exportation (T&E) — transiting the US to another country such as Canada or Mexico.

When you link an in-bond to an ACI eManifest in TruckerPro, the system monitors the ACI's status. The moment CBSA confirms the ACI cargo as arrived in Canada, TruckerPro automatically files the exportation event with CBP to close the in-bond. This eliminates the manual step of reporting exportation separately after the truck crosses.

QP refers to the CBP in-bond type code for Immediate Transportation — the most common type used by highway carriers moving shipments from one US port to another before formal entry. TruckerPro supports QP filing directly via ACE, along with I.T., T&E, and Immediate Export in-bond types.

TruckerPro generates in-bond aging reports, overdue bond summaries, exportation confirmation reports, and full movement histories exportable to CSV or PDF. All reports include CBP transaction IDs and timestamps for regulatory compliance and carrier audit purposes.
