Question 1
Domain 1: Customs Entry and Importation ProcessWhich publication contains a list of corporations authorized to act as sureties on bonds, with the amount in which each may be accepted?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Treasury Department Circular 570 is the publication that lists corporations authorized to act as sureties on federal bonds. It identifies each approved surety and the amount in which it may be accepted, matching the requirement for bond surety approval.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Customs Bulletin
Customs Bulletin publishes customs notices and decisions, not the official approved surety company list.
B. Treasury Department Circular 570
31 U.S.C. § 9304 and the implementing Treasury regulations require a surety on a federal bond to be an approved corporate surety, and the Treasury publishes that approval list in Circular 570. That circular is the official annual listing of authorized surety corporations and specifies the underwriting limitation for each company—the maximum bond amount in which it may be accepted—so it is the publication that matches the question’s requirement.
C. Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Entry Summary Business Rules and Process Document
ACE business rules describe electronic entry processing, not corporate surety authorizations or bond limits.
D. 19 CFR Part 113, Appendix A
19 CFR Part 113 Appendix A covers bond-related regulatory material, not the Treasury-approved surety roster.
