A bond with a co-principal may not be used to join an entity which does not have a distinct legal status (e.g. an unincorporated division of a corporation). However, an entity which does not have a distinct legal status may use another bond if listed on the bond by the principal at the time of execution or by subsequent rider (see § 113.24). A bond with co-principal may not be used to join different legal entities (e.g. an individual and a corporation, a partnership and a corporation).","path":["Title 19—Customs Duties","CHAPTER I—U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY; DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","PART 113—CBP BONDS","Subpart D—Principals and Sureties"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-19.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:24:40Z","sha256":"71d90481ebc217d3b24dde478c921e507c20fda6fe2c9d3cf36e65e12863533e","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/19-cfr-113.33","next":"us/19-cfr-113.35"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
