What Is Bonded Warehousing
Bonded warehousing involves storing imported goods at a secure facility which is compliant with regulations, while awaiting customs clearance.

Due to its flexibility, a wide range of goods can be stored. This makes it suitable for various industries.

Features Of a Bonded Warehouse
-
Central Management System
The central management system acts as the control and command centre.
It is operated by a team of supervisors that oversee warehouse operations.
-
Organised Storage System
Bulky goods are often packed onto pallets, before being stored on racks.
Small or loose items are consolidated into a single container which is kept alongside bulky goods.
-
Space Maximisation
Both bulk and rack storage is utilised to maximise space.
Bulk storage aligns and stacks of pallets on the floor while rack storage refers to the storing of pallets on shelves.
-
Automated Machine
Automated machines are utilised to speed up the process of collecting, packing and delivering cargo.
This helps to streamline logistical processes and minimise human error.
Advantages Of Bonded Warehouse Service
Bonded warehouses can be used to safely store sensitive and restricted items. Essentially, anything from small products to bulky items and irregularly shaped cargo can be kept here.
Businesses can enjoy tax savings when storing their goods in a bonded warehouse as duties only need to be paid when goods are sent out for delivery.
This means goods that remain unsold can be re-exported with no duties imposed on them.
Bonded warehouses have different storage facilities to store all kinds of products.
For example, deep-freeze containers are used to hold perishable goods while temperature-controlled rooms are used to store electronics and automotive products.
Bonded warehouses that offer shipping services provide a comprehensive solution by combining storage, distribution, and transportation under one roof. This integration streamlines the logistics process and eliminates the need for separate coordination with multiple service providers.
Many bonded warehouses offer additional services such as packaging, labeling, sorting, and quality control inspections. These value-added services can save businesses time and resources by outsourcing these tasks.
Factors To Consider Before Renting a Bonded Warehouse
| Are you leasing for the short or the long-term? | Does your business specialise in distribution and logistics? |
|---|---|
| Bonded warehouses are ideal for long-term storage of goods as most of them allow storage of items for up to >4 years. The range of facilities available will also ensure that your goods are well maintained and preserved despite the prolonged storage time. | For companies not proficient in logistics and delivery, leasing a bonded warehouse is ideal as they feature the necessary resources required to improve your business processes. |
