The '''Export Container Page''' 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 specific container on an in-bond shipment to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
<div class="bc-card">


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.

<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>


* From the main menu: '''U.S. In-Bonds → Export Container''' 
<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>
* From an in-bond report: Select '''Export Container''' in the Bills of Lading section 


Launching the form from the in-bond report automatically fills in key shipment details, reducing manual entry and errors.
<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>How to Access:</strong><br>
* <strong>From Menu:</strong> Navigate to <strong>U.S. In-Bonds</strong> and select <strong>Export Container</strong>.
* <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>).
</div>
