Type 62 · Transportation & ExportationT&E in-bond filing. The U.S. is just the bridge.
File a T&E in-bond (CBP Form 7512, Type 62) online in minutes. Move cargo through the United States without a formal entry and export it to a third country, most often Canada or Mexico.
Use cases
When to file a T&E
Cargo is passing through to Mexico
Move it from a U.S. seaport to a southern border crossing such as Laredo or Otay Mesa.
The goods never enter U.S. commerce
No formal U.S. entry is needed when the cargo is exported as filed.
You need the 30-day clock watched
The portal tracks every open T&E and flags the ones close to their deadline.
Step by step
How an T&E works with Prestige
Flat prices for each step, published up front. Membership is free.
- At the port of arrival$45
Create the T&E
We transmit the in-bond to ACE so the cargo can move under bond toward the port of export.
- At the port of export$10
Arrive the T&E
Send the arrival within two business days of reaching the port of export. This stops the transit clock.
- Leaving the U.S.$15
Export and close
Send the export message when the cargo crosses. This is the record that closes the bond.
Full T&E lifecycle: $70
Start a 7512Arrival alone doesn't close a T&E
This is the step most often missed. A T&E stays open in ACE until the export message is sent, and an open bond becomes an overdue bond. Without the export record, there's no proof the cargo left the U.S.

Do I pay U.S. duty on a T&E?
No. T&E cargo moves through the U.S. under bond and is exported without entering U.S. commerce, so no formal U.S. entry is filed for it.
Why is the export message so important?
Arriving a T&E stops the transit clock, but the bond stays open until the export is reported. The export message proves the cargo left the U.S. and closes the in-bond.
Can a T&E move by rail?
Yes. T&E movements can go by truck or rail. We file and close them correctly at the border either way.
What happens if a T&E goes past 30 days?
It becomes an overdue in-bond. That can lead to liquidated damages, which typically start at the value of the merchandise plus duties and taxes, and more inspections on future shipments.
