CBP issues urgent notice to trade that continuous bonds without U.S. Virgin Islands Rider will be rendered insufficient (click here) & review:
This week, the Revenue Division distributed a reminder to the surety community regarding the bond rider requirement for imports into the U.S. Virgin Islands. A notice
about this bond rider requirement was originally sent in 2005 and later posted to CBP's website as one of the many reasons CBP would render a bond insufficient if the
rider was not on file correctly.

A bond rider must be included with any continuous bond if the bond is used to import merchandise into the U.S. Virgin Islands. Failure to provide a rider for imports into
the U.S. Virgin Islands will result in the "suspension of bond usage and privileges," which impacts the timely release of goods.

The Revenue Division notes a continuing widespread "failure" to provide the necessary rider and has identified hundreds of valid continuous bonds used for entries in
the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2010 without the rider on file. The Revenue Division plans to render these bonds insufficient on Jan. 10, 2011. The rider's effective date must be
Sept. 14, 2005 (when the notice was enacted), or the effective date of the continuous bond, whichever is later. If the rider does not cover the appropriate period, the
Revenue Division may still render the bond insufficient.
