CSMS # 66285915 - Updates to “Bond Amount” Reporting in the K1/K2 Output Records of the Importer/Bond Query - Set to Deploy September 25, 2025
On September 25, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will deploy an enhancement in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Production (PROD) environment.
This enhancement will enable reporting of bonds amounts with up to 10 digits for the Importer/Bond Query. Following this deployment, bond amounts with 10 digits will be reported in the K2 output record, while bond amounts with 9 digits or less will continue to be reported in the K1 output record. Specific changes include:
In the
Output K1-Record
, a new
Bond Amount Record Location Indicator
field will indicate whether the bond amount value will be populated on the K1 or K2 records.
In the
Output K2-Record
, a new
Bond Amount
field will be populated when bond amounts are 10 digits.
In the
Output K8-Record
, the
Additional Information Qualifier Code
will be mandatory.
This update is reflected in Version 7 of the Importer/Bond Query implementation guide and will be available in the “Chapters: Current Capabilities” section of the
CBP and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR) website
upon deployment.
