Customs still find a reason to bond a shipment of cellphones .
Probably 2500 us for the whole shipment of 5 phones.
And customs broker says the next available appointment for customs clearance entry is February 9th.
Most likely this is the customs officers trying to secure a bribe. Because the items are declared properly and there's no tax no absolutely no reason to bond it .

usually under 20,000 TT requires no customs entry , thats been the rule for years
not sure if anything change
but more than likely its a $500 a customs official looking for to "speed up the delay and sort out this issue quickly"

have to hire a broker to do customs entry/clearance etc
a very senior customs official tell me he don't understand why it was bonded, nothing under 20k should be bonded or require customs entry.
see why bribe does hadda go on

you should keep your items closer to 15k rather than closer to the 20k customs entry limit
anything within 3k of 20k they will bond it if they want. hit you a 2 weeks wait time, you have to hire broker etc.
specifically talking about cellphones here

I don’t see how a watch could have escaped the tax
