A general Customs term referring to a variety of types of Customs entry procedures involving the storage, transportation and/or exportation of goods which are under Customs bond. Goods subject to an in-bond entry may not be made available for consumption or general distribution within the Customs territory of the country granting the in-bond entry without first being “cleared” through Customs for consumption or general distribution, a process which may involve the payment of Customs duty, tax and the determination that the goods otherwise meet all admissibility criteria.
