CBP's answer: B. B: An eligible importer must have a valid continuous bond for each flagged entry and a valid reconciliation bond rider on file for each importer of record number at the time the entry summaries are flagged for reconciliation.

CBP keyed B: a reconciliation importer needs a continuous bond and a reconciliation bond rider on file for each importer of record number when entries are flagged. The pinned BRPD chapter 10 only points to outside Reconciliation guidance and does not state the bond rule, so this walk-through rests on CBP's key. A single transaction bond is not what the program uses.

Reconciliation (Recon) policy and processing information is available in the Reconciliation External Guidance. ACE BRPD Section 10.1
