Undertaking

Explanation:
"Under a bond" is careless use of English; the importer of goods subject to customs duties, on entering them, enters into an undertaking (a "bond") to pay the duty later, when taking possession of them. Until that time, the goods may be stored "under bond" in the bonded warehouse.
