International Carrier Bond (ICB) Application

The following information is necessary for us to commence the ICB application process. Please take a few minutes to complete the requested information. Click on the Send to SIGCo button when completed and your request will automatically be e-mailed to us.

Please note that, as per the January 2008 circular (found here), we recommend that the minimum bond be $100,000 in order to avoid potential problems with US Customs when entering the US or filing the manifest. In addition, members should always check with the local port in case a higher limit is required.
