Export Container Page (U.S. In-Bond Manager)
| This article is part of the BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager Guide and the BorderConnect Software User Guide |
The Export Container Page is a page in BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager used to electronically report the export of a specific container on an in-bond shipment to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Training video: How to export in-bond shipments.
This page can be accessed by hovering over U.S. In-Bonds and selecting Export Container, or by selecting Export Container from the Bills of Lading section of the In-Bond Report Details Page. It is usually easier to complete from the in-bond report because some fields will be pre-filled. For a more detailed guide on arriving and exporting in-bond shipments, see the Reporting In-Bond Arrivals and Exports Guide.
When to Use Export by Container
Export by container is used when a specific container on an in-bond shipment is being exported from the United States. This is most common when an in-bond contains multiple containers and only one container, or some containers, physically leave the United States at a given time.
If all containers on the in-bond are leaving together, it is usually simpler to use Export Entire In-Bond instead.
Reporting an In-Bond Export by Container
To export by container, select that option under Send WP Request on the In-Bond Report Details Page, or select Export Container from the U.S. In-Bonds menu.
The export fields are the same as the standard in-bond export fields, with two additional fields for the bill of lading and container being exported:
- In-Bond Entry Number
- The CBP in-bond entry number. When the export is launched from the in-bond report, this field will normally be pre-filled.
- In-Bond Export Date
- The date the selected container physically left the United States or was delivered to the location where export was assured.
- In-Bond Export Time
- The time the selected container was exported or transferred for export.
- Master Bill of Lading
- The bill of lading number associated with the selected container. When exporting by container from the in-bond report, this field will normally be pre-filled.
- Container Number
- The specific container number being exported from the in-bond.
After confirming the container number, export date, and export time, click Send In-Bond Export Message to CBP. Monitor the in-bond report history to confirm that CBP accepted the export message.
CBP regulations require the in-bond record to be updated via a CBP-approved EDI system within two business days after exportation.<ref>19 CFR Part 18: Transportation in Bond and Merchandise in Transit</ref>
