Click the In-Bond (CF-7512) link on the SmartBorder Main Page:
You’ll want to begin by getting familiar with the menu options on the transaction screen and main screen of the In-Bond module. Once you’ve created your in-bond (CF-7512), you will return to this transaction screen to print your documents, as well as perform the transmissions associated with the in-bond transaction. Completing your in-bond may require that you review some other portions of this manual, in order to become familiar with other modules of SmartBorder (ex. FDA prior notice).
