Export Entire In-Bond Page (U.S. In-Bond Manager)

Last updated 20 July 2026

This article is part of the BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager Guide and the BorderConnect Software User Guide

The Send In-Bond Export Message Page, also known as the Export Entire In-Bond Page, is a page in BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager used to electronically report that an entire in-bond shipment has been exported from the United States or delivered to a place where export was reasonably assured. This is the correct export option when all freight covered by the in-bond entry is being exported at the same time.

This page is most useful when the full in-bond movement is complete and no individual containers or bills of lading need to remain active. If only part of the in-bond is being exported, use the export method that matches the portion leaving the United States.

How to export in-bond shipments

Accessing the Page

Viewing the Send In-Bond Export Message page.
Viewing the Send In-Bond Export Message page.

The Send In-Bond Export Message Page can be opened from the main U.S. In-Bonds menu or directly from an in-bond report. Opening it from the in-bond report is usually easier because BorderConnect can pre-fill some of the required fields.

To access the page from the main menu:

  1. Hover over U.S. In-Bonds.
  2. Select Export Entire In-Bond.
  3. Enter the in-bond entry number and export details manually.

To access the page from an in-bond report:

  1. Open the relevant in-bond report.
  2. Click Export Entire In-Bond.
  3. Review the pre-filled fields before sending.

For a more detailed workflow covering arrivals and exports, see the Reporting In-Bond Arrivals and Exports Guide.

When to Use

Use Export Entire In-Bond when the full in-bond shipment has left the United States or has been delivered to a location where export is reasonably assured. This may include delivery to a seaport, airport, rail location, or other export location under the control of the exporting carrier.

Use this option only when the entire in-bond entry is being exported. If selected freight is leaving separately, use a partial export method instead.

For partial exports, use Export Container when specific containers are leaving separately, or Export Bill of Lading when specific bills of lading are leaving separately.

Export Fields

The Send In-Bond Export Message Page contains the fields required to report the full in-bond export to CBP.

Field Description
In-Bond Entry Number The main number identifying the in-bond to CBP. It should be 9 numeric digits with no spaces, dashes, or other characters. When the export is started from the in-bond report, this field will normally be pre-filled.
In-Bond Export Date The date the in-bond shipment was exported from the United States or delivered to a place where export was reasonably assured. This date must not be in the future because an export cannot be reported before it happens. In-bond exports are required by regulation to be reported within two business days.[1]
In-Bond Export Time The specific time the in-bond shipment was exported from the United States or delivered to a place where export was reasonably assured.
House Bill Number Used only for in-bonds with the Air mode of transport. This field is not required for truck, rail, or ocean shipments.

Review the export details carefully before submitting the message. The export date and time should reflect when the full in-bond shipment physically left the United States or was delivered to the export location.

Reporting the Export

To report the export, confirm the in-bond entry number, export date, export time, and any required house bill information. Once the information is correct, click Send In-Bond Export Message to CBP.

After the message is sent, monitor the in-bond report history to confirm that CBP accepted the export message. If the message is rejected, review the rejection reason, correct the information, and resend the export message as needed.

Do not report an in-bond export before the export has actually occurred or before the freight has been delivered to a location where export is reasonably assured. Reporting too early can create inaccurate in-bond records and may require correction.

Best Practices

  • Start the export from the in-bond report when possible so key fields are pre-filled.
  • Use Export Entire In-Bond only when all freight on the in-bond is being exported.
  • Use the correct physical export date and time.
  • Do not report an export in advance.
  • Confirm the in-bond entry number before sending.
  • Check the in-bond report history after sending to confirm CBP acceptance.
  • Correct and resend rejected export messages as soon as possible.
  • Keep supporting records showing when and where the freight was exported or delivered for export.
