About

Courtesy & Service since 1945

For more than 75 years, C. A. Shea & Company, Inc. has been a leader in the Custom / trade related bond space. We service both insurance and surety brokers, agents as well as other trade professionals seeking U.S. Customs, Federal Maritime Commission and Carnet bonds for their clients who interact with the federal government of the United States.

We recognize that your clients are unique and that a “one size fits all” just doesn’t make sense in this dynamic, niche market. Therefore, we have established partnering relationships with the finest U.S. Treasury listed surety companies. These companies include CNA Surety, Travelers, AIG, Arch Insurance Company, Argo Surety, Aspen Insurance, AXAXL, Berkley Surety, Cap Specialty, Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, Euler Hermes, Great American, Hartford Surety, Liberty Mutual Surety, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, RLI Surety, Zurich Surety, Hanover Surety, Nationwide, Berkshire Hathaway, Sompo International, Swiss Re, Everest Re, IAT Insurance Group, and Markel Insurance.

Started in 1945 by Cornelius A. Shea, our mission since inception has been and continues to be “Courtesy and Service”. We are committed to providing the highest level of service and expertise in assisting companies with all aspects of the Customs Bond process including preparation, filing, amending and claims handling.

If you are an importer or a business requiring U.S. Customs, Federal Maritime Commission or Carnet bond coverage, we encourage you to contact your broker or agent or visit the websites of our surety partners to locate a broker or agent in your area who can provide you with a competitive rate, intelligent underwriting terms and prompt processing of your bonding needs. We look forward to having the opportunity to assist you.
