:(One Purple Bar) The QP In-Bond is currently active but has not been transmitted to CBP yet. It's recommended to finish entering data for the QP In-Bond and send it to CBP using the Send QP In-Bond button from the Send to CBP drop-down button on the QP In-Bond Detals page.

<p>Unique to BorderConnect, the <strong>U.S. In-Bond Status</strong> is a visual, color-coded indicator shown throughout the platform that allows users to instantly understand the current lifecycle stage of an in-bond shipment with [[US_Customs_and_Border_Protection_-_General_Information|U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)]].</p>


;Not On File
<p>You will see these statuses in the [[In_Bond_Manager_Dashboard_(U.S._In-Bond_Manager)|U.S. In-Bond Dashboard]], the [[QP_In-Bond_Search_Page_(U.S._In-Bond_Manager)|QP In-Bond Search Page]], and the [[QP_In-Bond_Details_for_In-Bond_Page_(U.S._In-Bond_Manager)|QP In-Bond Details Page]].</p>
:(One Red Bar) The U.S. In-Bond received a response from an In-Bond Status Query which indicates that the In-Bond has not been filed with CBP yet either by a customs broker, a third-party or filed as a QP In-Bond. In this scenario it's recommended to file a QP In-Bond for this entry number (using BorderConnect), or contact another party responsible for filing the bond.


;On File
<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
:(Three Green Bars) The U.S. In-Bond is accepted and on file with CBP. This status is common after successfully transmitting a QP In-Bond or receiving a response from an In-Bond Status Query.
<strong>Triggers:</strong> Statuses update automatically when:
* A QP In-Bond is transmitted to CBP.
* A CBP response is received via a Status Query.
* Arrival, export, or diversion messages are accepted.
</div>


;Enroute
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
:(Four Blue Bars) This status indicates that the U.S. In-Bond has successfully entered into the U.S. and/or has been authorized for movement within the United States by a CBP officer at the time of arrival. This status is common after receiving a response from an In-Bond Status Query.
</div>


;Arrived
<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">The In-Bond Lifecycle</h2>
:(Five Dark Green Bars) This status means that the U.S. In-Bond has been successfully arrived at the bonded location and an electronic arrival message has been accepted by CBP by using either BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager or a third-party responsible for managing the in-bond. If the bond is a type 61 Immediate Transportation bond, nothing further needs to be done and the bond is now closed.


;Exported
<div class="bc-card">
:(Six Green Bars) This status is common when the U.S. In-Bond is a type 62 Transportation and Exportation bond. It indicates that the in-bond has been released from the U.S. bonded location and has been authorized for movement at a foreign destination. This status is received after transmitting an export message for the shipment using ACE Manifest, using BorderConnect's U.S. In-Bond Manager, or sending an In-Bond Status Query. If the in-bond is a type 62 Transportation and Exportation bond, nothing further needs to be done and the bond is closed.
<p>The table below shows the typical progression of an in-bond shipment:</p>


;Concluded
<table class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;">
:(Six Green Bars) This status is common when the U.S. In-Bond is a type 62 Transportation and Exportation bond destined to Mexico, or changed to a different bond type with the original bond entry number. When type 62 in-bond shipments are destined to Mexico the Mexican carrier or carriers authorized to do business in Mexico, the in-bond is changed to a type 61 Immediate Transportation bond under the same bond entry number. As a result of this an export message will not work in most circumstances and will not close the bond unless a Check For Subsequent Bond is transmitted to CBP. If the bond has been successfully exported, sending a Check for Subsequent Bond will result in a '''Concluded''' status and the bond will be closed and no further action is needed.

U.S. In-Bond Status

A visual guide to understanding the lifecycle stages of in-bond shipments in BorderConnect.

Type: Reference Guide System: U.S. In-Bond

Overview

Color-coded U.S. In-Bond statuses displayed in BorderConnect

Unique to BorderConnect, the U.S. In-Bond Status is a visual, color-coded indicator shown throughout the platform that allows users to instantly understand the current lifecycle stage of an in-bond shipment with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

You will see these statuses in the U.S. In-Bond Dashboard, the QP In-Bond Search Page, and the QP In-Bond Details Page.

Triggers: Statuses update automatically when:

  • A QP In-Bond is transmitted to CBP.
  • A CBP response is received via a Status Query.
  • Arrival, export, or diversion messages are accepted.

The In-Bond Lifecycle

The table below shows the typical progression of an in-bond shipment:

Stage What It Means Typical Next Step
Unknown Created in BorderConnect but not sent to CBP. Transmit QP In-Bond.
On File Accepted by CBP (Pre-Arrival). Await arrival at the U.S. border.
Enroute Authorized for movement (In-Transit). Monitor until arrival at destination.
Arrived Reached the bonded destination. Export (if Type 62/63) or Close.
Exported/Concluded Bond is closed. No further action needed.

Status Descriptions

Below is a detailed breakdown of each status bar color and meaning.

Unknown (One Purple Bar)

The QP In-Bond exists in BorderConnect but has not yet been transmitted to CBP.

  • Action: Complete required fields and click Send QP In-Bond from the QP In-Bond Details page.

Not On File (One Red Bar)

CBP has confirmed through a status query that no in-bond exists under this entry number. This usually means the bond was never filed or a third party hasn't transmitted it yet.

  • Action: File the QP In-Bond in BorderConnect or contact the responsible filing party.

Rejected (Two Brown Bars)

An error was returned by CBP during a transmission or status query. Specific error details will appear in the QP In-Bond History section.

  • Action: Review the reject message, correct the data, and retransmit.

On File (Three Green Bars)

The in-bond has been accepted and is officially recorded in CBP systems. This appears after a successful QP filing or a positive status query response.

  • Action: No action required until physical movement occurs.

Enroute (Four Blue Bars)

The shipment has entered the United States and has been authorized by CBP for in-bond movement. It is currently moving toward its bonded destination.

  • Action: Monitor progress until the driver arrives at the destination.

Arrived (Five Dark Green Bars)

The shipment has reached the bonded destination and CBP has accepted the electronic arrival message.

  • Action (Type 61): None. The bond is closed.
  • Action (Type 62/63): Export or further processing is required.

Exported (Six Green Bars)

Common for Transportation and Exportation (Type 62) in-bonds. This confirms the shipment has left the U.S. and the export message was accepted.

  • Action: None. The bond is closed.

Concluded (Six Green Bars)

Most often seen for Mexico-bound in-bonds where a Type 62 bond converts to a subsequent Type 61 bond. This status is confirmed using the "Check For Subsequent Bond" feature.

  • Action: None. The bond is closed.
