DHS Privacy Act Statement

CBP Form 301, Customs Bond

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), this Privacy Act Statement serves to inform you of the following concerning the collection of the information on this form.

A. AUTHORITY:

Bonds are authorized under 19 U.S.C. 1608, and 1623; 22 U.S.C. 463. CBP has the authority to collect information on CBP Form 301 pursuant to 19 CFR

Part 113. The collection of applicants tax information (e.g., Social Security Number (SSN)) on the CBP Form 301 is pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 9397,

as amended by E.O. 13478.10.; 31 U.S.C. §7701(c); and 26 U.S.C. §6109(d).

B. PURPOSE:

The primary purpose for requesting the information on CBP Form 301 is used to ensure that duties, taxes, charges, penalties, and reimbursable expenses

owed to the Government for imported goods are paid. CBP requires this form be used to verify that the individual or entity (importer, broker, surety) are

responsible for payment of these expenses.

C. ROUTINE USES:

Consistent with DHS's information-sharing mission, information related to Customs Bonds may be shared with DHS and partner government agencies that

have a need to know the information to carry out their homeland security, international trade, or import safety functions, including activities related to the

collection of duties, taxes, and fees, for imported goods. In addition, information may be shared with appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign,

or international government agencies consistent with the routine uses authorized under the Privacy Act. A complete list of the routine uses can be found in the

system of records notice associated with this form, "Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and Border Protection - DHS/CBP-001 Import

Information System of Records" The Department's system of records notices can be found on the Department's website at http://www.dhs.gov/system-

records-notices-sorns

D. CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION:

Providing this information is not legally required, however failure to do so may result in you or your company (as the importer, broker, or surety) from being

unable to receive imported goods in a timely manner and without having to pay in advance the full amount of funds owed to the government for assessment of

duties, taxes, and fees on imports.
