QP In-Bond Details for In-Bond Page (U.S. In-Bond Manager)
| This article is part of the BorderConnect Software User Guide |
The QP In-Bond Details for In-Bond Page is a page in BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager where the user can review the information entered for a QP In-Bond. It gives a complete overview of the in-bond, allows changes to be made, and provides the controls used to transmit the in-bond to CBP.
Use this page whenever there is a need to review the QP In-Bond, verify its current status, make changes, manage bills of lading, or generate documentation.
The QP In-Bond Details Page can be accessed in the following ways:
- Automatically after saving a new QP In-Bond, unless Save and Create New Bill of Lading is selected.
- From the Start New QP Bill of Lading page by clicking Back to QP In-Bond Details for In-Bond.
- From the QP In-Bond Search Page by clicking View on the QP In-Bond search result.
Main Function Buttons
The main function buttons are located near the top of the page. They provide access to the primary actions used to manage and transmit the QP In-Bond.
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit | Opens the Start/Edit QP In-Bond Page so the user can change QP In-Bond details such as Entry Number, In-Bond Entry Type, U.S. Port of Entry, U.S. In-Bond Destination, and related fields. Clicking Save returns the user to the QP In-Bond Details Page. |
| In-Bond Dashboard | Opens the U.S. In-Bond dashboard, where the user can view all U.S. in-bonds in BorderConnect. |
| Send to CBP | Opens transmission options for the QP In-Bond. Send QP In-Bond transmits the in-bond to CBP and should be used when the in-bond is not currently on file with CBP, such as an unknown or cancelled status. Cancel QP In-Bond sends a cancellation request to CBP when an on-file in-bond needs to be cancelled, such as when freight is no longer expected to cross or core details need to be corrected. |
| Send Status Query | Sends a status query to CBP for the QP In-Bond. CBP normally responds with a status update in the history section. This is useful when confirming the current status in CBP's system. |
| CBP Form 7512 | Generates CBP Form 7512 from the data entered on the QP In-Bond, including entry number, in-bond entry type, importer IRS number, commodity information, total value, and HTS code. The menu provides options to print, fax, or email the form. |
When a transmission option is selected, the user is asked to confirm the action before the request is sent to CBP. If there are errors that prevent transmission, BorderConnect will display them at that time.
Details and History Window
The Details/History window is located directly under the main function buttons and is used to review the current state of the in-bond.
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Details | Displays information about the QP In-Bond, including Entry Number, In-Bond Entry Type, Port of U.S. Entry, U.S. In-Bond Destination, Importing Carrier, and Current Status. |
| QP In-Bond History | Displays a complete history for the QP In-Bond and its attached bills of lading, including when they were started, major changes that were made, what was sent to CBP, and CBP responses. |
The history is important because it can show:
- When the QP In-Bond was accepted and on file with CBP.
- When the in-bond was authorized for movement in the United States with an enroute status.
- Whether the in-bond should be arrived or exported based on the current status.
- CBP reject messages and the reasons for those rejects.
- Major changes made to the in-bond after it was created or transmitted.
Container Section
The Container section is located below the Details/History window. It displays the container currently listed on the QP In-Bond and allows the user to add or change container information. Container information is not mandatory unless a container is used.
Click Add New Container to select the container, enter the container number, select the container type, and add any seal numbers associated with the container. Clicking Save assigns the container to the QP In-Bond and returns the user to the QP In-Bond Details Page.
Bill of Lading Section
The Bill of Lading section is located below the Container section. It displays the bills of lading currently attached to the QP In-Bond and provides controls to add, remove, or edit them. All bills of lading included on a QP In-Bond must be reported.
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Create New Bill of Lading | Opens the Start New QP Bill of Lading Page. Use this when the bill of lading has not yet been created in BorderConnect. Creating it from here automatically attaches it to the QP In-Bond. |
| Add Bill of Lading | Use this field when the bill of lading was previously entered in BorderConnect. Clicking the field opens a search of recent bills of lading so the existing record can be attached. |
Secondary Notify Party Section
The Secondary Notify Party section displays the secondary notify parties for the QP In-Bond. Secondary notify parties are optional, and multiple parties can be added when needed.
Click Add Secondary Notify Party to add a party to the QP In-Bond. The user can assign an associated port, FIRMS Code, filer code, and SCAC code. Clicking Save assigns the secondary notify party and returns the user to the QP In-Bond Details Page.
Comment Section
The Comment section is located near the bottom of the page. It allows the user to add and view internal comments about the QP In-Bond. Comments are not transmitted to CBP; they are for user reference only.
Comments can be useful for recording unusual situations, sharing context with other users, or retaining information for audit purposes.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Add Comment | Opens a page where a new comment can be entered. Clicking Save adds the comment to the QP In-Bond and returns the user to the QP In-Bond Details Page. |
| Edit | Opens an existing comment so it can be updated. Clicking Save updates the comment and returns the user to the QP In-Bond Details Page. |
| Delete | Removes an existing comment from the QP In-Bond. |
