Bond Rider

A bond rider in the context of importing refers to an amendment or attachment to a continuous import bond, also known as a customs bond. This type of bond is required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for importers to ensure compliance with various customs regulations, including the Importer Security Filing (ISF) requirements. The bond rider is a document that modifies or adds specific terms and conditions to the existing continuous bond to address certain aspects of compliance, typically related to ISF filings and other import-related obligations.
