Bond Administration for Surety Companies — Specializing in eZTS and GTSB

Ironclad’s Customs Bonds Unit manages bond issuance and portfolio administration for surety companies and the importers they serve. We specialize in the Electronic Zone Transfer System (eZTS) and General Transportation Surety Bond (GTSB) requirements that govern PEZA ecozone-to-ecozone transfers and transshipment.

We handle direct underwriting of Customs Bonds; eZTS-compliant bond processing for PEZA locator-to-locator transfers; GTSB application, renewal, and balance monitoring through ABMS; DTI Bonds, BIR-ATRIG, Common Carrier’s Bonds, and Re-Export Bonds; coordination with BOC-accredited sureties; portfolio and exposure tracking; renewal and compliance monitoring; and fast turnaround on import/export and transshipment bond requirements.

A missed GTSB renewal or an untracked eZTS transfer creates real customs delay risk and can trigger bond forfeiture. Our unit exists to make sure that never happens. Track record: 6,158 bonds and policies issued in 2025 alone, with zero reported claims on any eZTS or GTSB bond. We facilitated our underwriting partner’s Bureau of Customs Bonds Accreditation (ATBAS), held continuously for over 25 years.
