Important Notice Regarding Bond Applications
If you are applying for a bond through Tariff Hippo, please note the following:
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) requires financial security to be posted directly by the importer, along with an explicit consent agreement signed by the importer.
To support transparency and compliance, service providers - including customs brokers, freight forwarders, and consultants may assist with requesting financial security on behalf of an importer; however, the explicit consent agreement must be signed directly by the importer and cannot be electronically signed by a third party.
