Provisional assessment requires bond and security to cover any deficiency between final and provisional customs duty.

Provisional assessment requires the proper officer to estimate provisional duty; the importer or exporter must execute a bond to pay any deficiency between final and provisional duty and furnish prescribed security. Security may take the form of a bank guarantee or a cash deposit. Administrative guidelines and circulars provide procedural direction and have been updated to reflect rules of origin administration under trade agreements.
