Or call (877) 477-7578
A PACA bond helps secure payment obligations in the perishable produce trade under federal law.
The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act up to the penal sum.
A claim may arise if the principal fails to comply with the bonded Texas obligation or causes covered loss to the obligee or protected parties.
If a claim is valid, the surety may pay up to the bond penalty according to the bond terms; the principal remains liable to reimburse the surety.
Amount, premium, term, and the authority that requires this filing.
Texas produce dealers and brokers whose PACA path requires surety.
Confirm USDA PACA bonding instructions for your license class.
Share your license type, court order, or obligee form and the exact penal sum required by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.
We review credit and filing details, then quote premium options through licensed surety markets.
Once approved, we issue the bond for delivery to United States of America (USDA) or for your Texas filing package.
The amount is USDA - PACA path-driven amount, as set under Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act and confirmed with USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.
The obligee is typically United States of America (USDA). Always match the exact name on the Texas form.
Many Texas filings can be underwritten the same day when documents and credit are complete; complex amounts may take longer.
Not always. Premium and collateral options vary by credit and bond size — ask for markets that still write the risk.
Most bonds renew on the term shown (1 Year). Keep continuity so your Texas license or filing does not lapse.
