Paperless Master In-bond: A) How can I become a Paperless Master In-bond (AMS/MIB) participant?
To participate in the Paperless Master In-bond Program the carrier or the NVOCC must acquire a CBP Type 2 – Custodian Bond. The interested party will then prepare on their letterhead a request to participate in the program identifying their assigned IRS# and what in-bond entry types they would like to be designated to transmit for. They may elect – Immediate Transportation (IT- entry type 61), Transportation and Exportation (T&E – entry type 62), Immediate Exportation (IE – entry type 63) or all three. The letter should be provided to their Client Representative for action. The IRS# will be validated against a bond table existing in ACS and if valid, a “V#” will be assigned to the carrier or NVOCC. The carrier or NVOCC will then create a control number using the “V#” and the in-bond movement will be tracked in AMS. The party initiating the paperless master in-bond move will then be responsible for the arrival/export of the movement in the system.
