Which of the following is NOT a reason to issue a Temporary Importation Bond?

A Temporary Importation Bond (TIB) is utilized to allow goods to be imported into the United States without payment of tariffs or duties, under specific conditions and for a limited duration. The bond ensures that the goods will either be exported later, destroyed, or otherwise accounted for, with the requirement that they do not enter the domestic market for consumption.

Participating in exhibitions, displaying goods for sale abroad, and warranty repairs on goods all typically align with the purposes of a TIB. For instance, goods may be brought into the country to showcase at trade shows or exhibitions, where they will be re-exported afterward. Similarly, items that require warranty repairs can be imported temporarily to perform the necessary service before being sent back to the original country.

In contrast, the destruction of the product does not require a TIB. If goods are intended to be destroyed rather than returned or re-exported, there is no need for a bond since the purpose is not to temporarily import for eventual export or repair. Instead, customs procedures would be followed to handle the destruction, eliminating the necessity of the bond mechanism altogether. Thus, this option stands out as not specifically aligning with the reasons for issuing a TIB.
