What Is a Bonded Warehouse

A bonded warehouse is a secure, HMRC-approved facility where imported goods can be stored without paying import duties or VAT upfront. This allows businesses to defer the payment of customs duties until the goods are sold or re-exported.

Key Benefits

Improved Cash Flow

Businesses can manage their finances better by delaying payment of duties until the goods are sold.

Customs Control

Goods are stored in a controlled environment, ensuring security and compliance with customs regulations.

Transferring Products

From boded to bonded under bonded warehouse

Warehouse Under Bonded

Goods can be transferred seamlessly from one bonded warehouse to another while remaining under bond. This allows businesses to move stock between approved facilities without triggering import duties or VAT, offering flexibility in logistics, distribution, and supply-chain planning.

Importing And Exporting Under Bonded

Our bonded warehouse services support both importing and exporting under bond, enabling goods to enter, move, or leave the UK efficiently while remaining fully compliant with HMRC regulations. This is ideal for international trade, re-exports, and global distribution operations.
