How Does a California Third Party Logistics Provider Bond Work? 

A third party logistics provider bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the third party or nonresident logistics provider filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The State Board of Pharmacy requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding all applicable provisions of Section 4162 of the California Business and Professions Code. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your third party logistics provider bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
