Arrive Entire In-Bond Page (U.S. In-Bond Manager)
|
🔖 This article is part of the BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager Guide and the BorderConnect Software User Guide |
The Send In-Bond Arrival Message Page in BorderConnect’s U.S. In-Bond Manager allows carriers to electronically report when an in-bond shipment reaches its CBP destination port.
Arriving the in-bond is a required regulatory step and confirms to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that the bonded movement has physically reached the authorized location.
This page can be opened in two ways:
- From the top menu: U.S. In-Bonds → Arrive Entire In-Bond
- From an in-bond report: Click Arrive Entire In-Bond within the In-Bond Report Details page
Launching the arrival from the in-bond report automatically fills in most required fields and reduces data entry errors.
For workflows that include exports, diversions, and partial arrivals, see the Reporting In-Bond Arrivals and Exports Guide.
When to Use Arrive Entire In-Bond

|---|---|
