U.S. In-Bond status will update automatically either when a QP In-Bond is transmitted or receives a specific response through a Status Query from CBP thereby updating the in-bond status.
Unique to BorderConnect, a '''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 [[US_Customs_and_Border_Protection_-_General_Information|U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)]].


== List of U.S. In-Bond Statuses ==
Statuses appear in:


;Unknown
* [[In_Bond_Manager_Dashboard_(U.S._In-Bond_Manager)|U.S. In-Bond Dashboard]] 
:(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_Details_for_In-Bond_Page_(U.S._In-Bond_Manager)|QP In-Bond Details page]].
* [[QP_In-Bond_Search_Page_(U.S._In-Bond_Manager)|QP In-Bond Search Page]] 
* [[QP_In-Bond_Details_for_In-Bond_Page_(U.S._In-Bond_Manager)|QP In-Bond Details Page]]


;Not On File
Each status updates automatically when:
:(One Red Bar) The U.S. In-Bond received a response from an [[Send_In-Bond_Status_Query_Page_(U.S._In-Bond_Manager)|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
* A QP In-Bond is transmitted to CBP 
:(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.
* A CBP response is received through an In-Bond Status Query
* Arrival, export, or diversion messages are accepted 


;Enroute
These visual indicators eliminate guesswork and help users take immediate action when required.
:(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.


;Arrived
== Understanding the In-Bond Lifecycle ==
:(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
The table below shows how an in-bond typically progresses:
:(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.


;Concluded
{| class="wikitable"
:(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.

;Rejected
== U.S. In-Bond Status Descriptions ==
:(Two Brown Bars) This status indicated that an error has been received either when transmitting a QP In-Bond or when receiving an In-Bond Status Query response from CBP. The reject message details will be provided in the QP In-Bond History Section of the QP In-Bond Details page. It's recommended to reach out to BorderConnect support if you are unsure how to resolve the issue.
 
=== Unknown ===
(One Purple Bar)
 
The QP In-Bond exists in BorderConnect but has not yet been transmitted to CBP.
 
Recommended action:
* Complete all required fields
* Click '''Send QP In-Bond''' from the Send to CBP menu on 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.
 
Common causes:
* The bond was never filed 
* A third party has not yet transmitted it 
 
Recommended action:
* File a QP In-Bond in BorderConnect 
* Or contact the party responsible for filing 
 
=== On File ===
(Three Green Bars)
 
The in-bond has been accepted and is officially recorded in CBP systems.
 
This status typically appears after:
* Successfully transmitting a QP In-Bond 
* Receiving confirmation through a status query 
 
No action is 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.
 
This status usually follows:
* Port of arrival processing 
* Status query confirmation 
 
The in-bond is now moving toward its bonded destination.
 
=== Arrived ===
(Five Dark Green Bars)
 
The shipment has reached the bonded destination and CBP has accepted the electronic arrival message.
 
For Immediate Transportation (Type 61):
* The bond is now closed 
* No further reporting is required 
 
For other bond types:
* Export or further processing may still be required 
 
=== Exported ===
(Six Green Bars)
 
Common for Transportation and Exportation (Type 62) in-bonds.
 
This confirms that:
* The shipment has left the bonded location 
* Export has been accepted by CBP 
 
Once exported, the bond is closed and no further action is needed.
 
=== Concluded ===
(Six Green Bars)
 
Most often seen for Mexico-bound in-bonds.
 
In these cases:
* The Type 62 bond converts to a Type 61 subsequent bond 
* Export messages may not apply 
 
Using '''Check For Subsequent Bond''' confirms closure and updates the status to Concluded.
 
Once concluded, the in-bond is fully closed.
 
=== Rejected ===
(Two Brown Bars)
 
An error was returned by CBP during:
 
* QP In-Bond transmission 
* In-Bond Status Query response
 
Details appear in the QP In-Bond History section.
 
Recommended action:
* Review the reject message carefully 
* Correct the data and retransmit 
* Contact BorderConnect Support if clarification is needed
