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 easier to complete from the in-bond report if possible, because this pre-fills some of the fields for you.

== Reporting In-Bond Exports Using Container Number ==
<div class="bc-wrap">


Another option is to report the export of a specific container on an in-bond, using the container number. For in-bonds that have multiple containers, this notifies CBP that only a portion of the in-bond has been exported from the U.S.
<div class="bc-article-hero">
<h1>Export Container Page</h1>
<p>Report the export of specific containers within a U.S. In-Bond shipment.</p>
<div class="bc-article-meta">
<span class="bc-article-pill"><i class="fas fa-file-export"></i> Type: CBP Reporting</span>
<span class="bc-article-pill"><i class="fas fa-flag-usa"></i> Country: United States (In-Bond)</span>
</div>
</div>


To export by container, you can select that option under Send WP Request on the In-Bond Report Details Page, or select that option from under the U.S. In-Bonds menu.
<div class="bc-card">


When exporting the in-bond by container, all the fields are the same as described above, expect the Master Bill of Lading and Container Number fields are added. The master bill of lading number is the bill of lading number that the container is associated with, and the container number is the one that you wish to export on the in-bond. When exporting by container from the in-bond report, the master bill of lading number field will be pre-filled.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>Export Container Page</strong> in BorderConnect’s [https://www.borderconnect.com/us-in-bond-manager/index.htm U.S. In-Bond Manager] allows carriers to electronically report the export of a <strong>specific container</strong> on an in-bond shipment to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).</p>
 
<p>This option is used when only part of an in-bond shipment is exporting, particularly when multiple containers are associated with a single in-bond and each container moves separately.</p>
 
<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>How to Access:</strong><br>

* <strong>From Report:</strong> Open an In-Bond Report and select <strong>Export Container</strong> in the Bills of Lading section. (<em>Recommended: This auto-fills shipment details</em>).
