SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In the 1980s, non-vessel operating 

common carriers, non-aircraft operating 

common carriers, exporters, and other 

freight consolidators (known as ‘‘export 

consolidators’’) in Customs District 52 

(Miami) established a service that 

involved the receipt into their facilities 

of individual exportation shipments for 

consolidation prior to exportation. Due 

to conflicts between industry practices 

and the customs regulations, the U.S. 

Customs Service (the predecessor 

agency of U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP)) established the InBond Export Consolidator program 

(IBEC program) in 1986 1 as a pilot 

program to accommodate the growing 

export consolidation industry.2 All 

entities that intended to continue the 

consolidation for export of merchandise 

traveling under a customs bond were 

required to participate and accept the 

conditions of the IBEC program. In 

1998, the U.S. Customs Service created 

a special bond, known as the In-Bond 

Export Consolidation bond (IBEC bond), 

in an effort to maintain procedural and 

regulatory control over the bonded 

freight for export.3 The IBEC bond 

covered the consolidation, cartage, 

transportation, and exportation of inbond merchandise in the custody of the 

U.S. Customs Service (now CBP).4 The 

IBEC bond was required by specific 

instruction pursuant to section 113.1 of 

title 19, Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) (19 CFR 113.1). Today, the IBEC 

bond is also known as the Activity Code 

14 bond, as designated on the CBP Form 

301 (Customs Bond). Currently, there 

are 194 active IBEC bond holders, and 

they operate within the Miami Seaport 

and Port Everglades ports of entry. 

CBP continues to have concerns with 

maintaining procedural and regulatory 

control over merchandise destined for 

export to ensure the protection of the 

revenue of the United States and 

compliance with the laws and 

regulations enforced by CBP. 

Specifically, the IBEC program has 

made it more challenging for CBP to 

ensure that the custody and 

manipulation of merchandise complies 

with regulations such as 19 CFR 

19.11(e) and 125.41(a). For these 

reasons, CBP is terminating the IBEC 

program and IBEC bond. The IBEC 

program is being terminated pursuant to 

the broad discretion afforded to the 

agency under the applicable regulations, 

including 19 CFR parts 4, 18, 19, 112, 

113, 125, 144, and 146. The IBEC bond 

is being terminated pursuant to 19 

U.S.C. 1623 and 19 CFR part 113. 

In order to continue their operations, 

existing IBEC program participants, 

which include both IBEC program 

facilities as well as the operators who 

manage the facilities, must transition 

their export consolidation activities to a 

customs bonded warehouse (see 19 CFR 

parts 19 and 144), a container freight 

station (see 19 CFR 19.40–19.49), a 

foreign trade zone (see 19 CFR part 146), 

or a facility operated as a non-vessel 

operating common carrier (NVOCC) (see 

19 CFR 4.7(b)(3)) 5. In addition, IBEC 

program participants must procure the 

appropriate bond(s) to operate as one of 

these alternate facility types (see 19 CFR 

part 113). These transition decisions 

will need to be made by the IBEC 

program participants based on their 

business models and business needs. 

CBP has begun working with all IBEC 

program participants to guide them as 

they transition into one of the alternate 

facility types and continues to conduct 

outreach to IBEC program participants 

to ensure the trade community’s 

continuity of operations. IBEC program 

participants with questions about the 

transition may contact the point of 

contact listed above in this notice, 

preferably by email. 

CBP recognizes that current IBEC 

program participants may need a 

transition period to transition the status 

of their facilities, as set forth in this 

notice. Therefore, current IBEC program 

participants (including both IBEC 

program facilities and the operators who 

manage the facilities) who intend to 

continue in-bond export consolidation 

operations have until February 11, 2023 

to transition to one of the alternate 

facility types listed in this notice and 

obtain the appropriate bond(s). As of 

February 11, 2022, CBP will no longer 

accept applications for new IBEC bonds 

(designated as Activity Code 14 on the 

CBP Form 301). IBEC bonds executed 

prior to February 11, 2022, may 

continue to be used to secure activities 

until February 11, 2023. CBP will 

continue to work closely with IBEC 

program participants to ensure the trade 

community’s understanding and 

compliance with this notice.
