You can say that the full name of IT number is immediate Transit.But it is no right.

An Immediate Transportation Entry(IT)is filed with U.S.Customs and Border Protection(CBP)when imported goods arrive at a United States port of entry to another port of entry within the United States as the final destination.

An IT must be filed at the first port of arrival in order for an"in-bond"movement to take place.When filing an IT,the importer,customs broker or carrier must be bonded to be assigned an in-bond number.

Importers that do not have an IRS number are encouraged to have a broker or carrier obtain the in-bond number on their behalf and arrange having the goods sent in-bond to the final destination.Be aware there may be fees involved for service.

A CBP bond can be obtained from the U.S.Department of the Treasury licensed surety company,please visit the DOT website.The in-bond numbers are issued at the ports of entry.To obtain an in-bond number,you can call your local port of entry and ask for the in-bond desk or the in-bond issuance officer.

Carriers,customs brokers or freight forwarders handling operations requesting in-bond numbers are required to supply the following information to the port:

CBP filer code or CBP importer number(IRS number reported to CBP)or a SCAC carrier code.CBP

The quantity of numbers requested(blocks of numbers are assigned by the port of entry ranging from 100-500,000 at a time).

A return FAX number for receiving numbers.
