About TRG
The difference between TRG and other markets for import-related
products is our marketing approach, which is reflected in our prices and
excellent customer service. We contact importers direct and our goal is to
introduce and educate.
The first goal TRG set and met was to be a leader in the U.S. Customs bond
market by providing courteous, professional service and competitively priced
bonds from highly rated insurance companies. In due time we added marine cargo
insurance, a natural complement to the Customs bond, and then free on-line
reporting to our customers. As reflected in our mission statement, TRG will
continue to develop and offer additional products and services that benefit
international traders.
Trade Risk Guaranty (TRG) is an international surety agency providing Customs
bonds, marine cargo insurance, and other trade-related products direct to
companies that import into the United States.
Current managing partner, John Michel, founded TRG in 1991. John served as
national underwriter for one of the largest Customs bond companies from 1985 to
1991. Through this experience he realized that certain products and services
that were traditionally provided by the customs brokers could be provided
directly from the insurance agency, resulting in lower prices and higher levels
of expert customer service.
Our Mission Statement
Committed to providing international traders the best
possible option for U.S. Customs Bonds and Marine Cargo Insurance and
