3 New Continuous Activity Codes Would be Added
The revised Form 301 would capture new types of bonds which have been authorized by law and regulation, as well as better harmonize this form with current and future automation system requirements.
Specifically, Section II of the CBP Form 301 would be revised to cover continuous activity code bonds for:
- Importer Security Filing (ISF);
- Intellectual Property Rights Samples; and
- Marine Terminal Operator.
(Section II of the form currently includes codes for 10 activities, such as: importer or broker; drawback payments refunds; custodian of bonded merchandise; international carrier; foreign trade zone operator; bill of lading; etc.)
