A surety bond is a financial guarantee between three parties— the principal, the obligee, and the surety—ensuring that contractual obligations, legal requirements, or financial commitments are met.
A surety bond protects the obligee (such as a government agency or business) by ensuring the principal (the bonded party) fulfills their obligations. If the principal fails to meet the terms, the surety company steps in to cover the financial loss or ensure compliance. In 3PL logistics and warehousing, surety bonds are often required for customs clearance, freight forwarding, and securing contractual agreements.
