Rates for customs bonds can vary widely depending on the type of bond required. License bonds can go as low as $375 for small bonds. Larger release of goods bonds can go anywhere from 0.5% to 1.5% of the bond value.
For small customs bonds, the surety is typically doing a very simple application process and no financials are required. Once bonds reach values between $50,000 – $100,000, surety companies will start to request financial statements as part of their underwriting process.
