Overview of Management of Customs Securities

  • A bond is a contract executed under seal whereby a person or persons (sureties, guarantors or underwriters) bind themselves to pay some other persons up to a specified sum of money as a penalty for the failure by some other person (the principal) to perform certain agreed acts.
  • Penalty to bond is the amount of money specified in the bond as payable, if the conditions of the bond are not met or are contravened.  It is the Bond In Force (BIF) that is enforceable in case the conditions of the bond are contravened.
