Export 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 Export Message Page in BorderConnect’s U.S. In-Bond Manager is used to electronically report when an in-bond shipment has been exported from the United States or delivered to a location where export is assured, such as a seaport, airport, or rail terminal under carrier control.
This process officially concludes the in-bond movement in CBP systems.
You can access the export form in two ways:
- From the top menu: U.S. In-Bonds → Export Entire In-Bond
- From an in-bond report: Click Export Entire In-Bond on the In-Bond Report Details page
Launching the form from the in-bond report automatically fills in key shipment details, helping prevent entry errors.
For full workflows covering arrivals, partial exports, and diversions, see the Reporting In-Bond Arrivals and Exports Guide.
When to Use Export Entire In-Bond
| Situation | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Full shipment leaves the U.S. at once | Export Entire In-Bond |
| Multiple containers leave separately | Export by Container Number |
| Multiple bills of lading move independently | Export by Bill of Lading |

Summary
Exporting an entire in-bond is the final step in closing an in-bond shipment when all cargo leaves the United States at once. Using the in-bond report to submit exports improves accuracy, speeds CBP response, and ensures compliance.
