Show the answer and walk-through
CBP's answer: C. C: $125.00
Under 113.13(a), the amount of any CBP bond must not be less than $100 unless a law or regulation expressly allows a lesser amount. Of the choices, only $125.00 is at least $100, so C is right. $80.00 and $99.99 are below the minimum, and fractional dollars are disregarded and the bond is stated as the next highest dollar.
The amount of any CBP bond must not be less than $100, except when the law or regulation expressly provides that a lesser amount may be taken. 19 CFR 113.13(a)
