There are several common problem areas for consumption entry single transaction bond (STB) filings that deserve special attention from brokers and surety companies, said CBP San Francisco in an information notice. "These inaccuracies lead to questions about the validity of bonds submitted by entry filers, brokers and surety agent representatives," said the notice. "It also leads to the possibility that there may not be adequate supervision and control." CBP identified the problem areas through several audits and internal reviews, it said. The accuracy of the bonds is the responsibility of the "entry brokers, including those who exercise responsible supervision over brokerage offices, and surety agents or representatives," it said.
