# §113.69. Production of bills of lading bond conditions.


A bond to produce a bill of lading must contain the conditions listed in this section and must be a single transaction bond.

If the principal obtains release of any merchandise before filing a valid bill of lading on that merchandise with CBP, the obligors (principal and surety, jointly and severally) agree to:

- (a) Produce timely a valid bill of lading for the merchandise; and
- (b) Relieve the United States and its employees from all liability, to indemnify the United States and its employees against loss, and defend any action brought on a claim for loss based on the release without production of a valid bill of lading.
