### What Happens If My Shipment Goes In Bond?

You will receive a notification from Moto and from your customs broker. If shipping to Canada, your shipment will be at our bonded warehouse until customs clearance has been completed. If the bond was the fault of your company, shipper or customs broker a bond fee will be applied to your order and we will require approval of the fee before delivery. If it was Moto’s error, we will waive the fee.
