CBP's answer: B. B: Exact Trucking

Liability for breach of in-bond requirements, including irregular delivery, falls on the party whose bond is obligated on the transportation entry. Here the carrier doing the movement, Exact Trucking, delivered the press to the wrong place, so it is liable (B).

The party whose bond is obligated on the transportation entry will be liable for breach of any of the requirements found in this part 19 CFR 18.8(a)
