Special storage areas where goods on which customs duty has not yet been paid are stored safely until customs procedures are completed, and processed where necessary, are called bonded warehouses. These warehouses play an important role in the entry and exit of goods in international trade and help optimise logistics processes. Bonded warehouses must meet the requirements set out in the relevant articles of the customs regulations.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF BONDED WAREHOUSE?
Bonded warehouses are divided into different types according to their purpose and characteristics:
Public Bonded Warehouse: Bonded warehouses where various types of goods are stored.
Private Bonded Warehouse: Bonded warehouses built specifically for a particular sector or product (for example, cold storage for food products).
Heavy Cargo Bonded Warehouse: Bonded warehouses used especially for large and heavy cargo.
A public bonded warehouse is a storage facility open to all, where goods subject to customs legislation are stored safely until customs procedures are completed and where various operations are carried out when necessary. Any company or individual can place their goods in a public bonded warehouse for customs procedures. Goods in the bonded warehouse are under the control of the customs authorities.
A private bonded warehouse is a storage area allocated to a specific person or company, established solely for storing goods belonging to the warehouse operator. As in public bonded warehouses, operations such as storage, packaging and processing can be carried out, but these are generally shaped by the specific needs of the business.
A heavy cargo bonded warehouse is a specially designed storage facility where large and heavy cargo is generally stored, processed and transferred. These warehouses play an important role in logistics processes, especially in international trade.
A bonded warehouse is used for storage and ensures that goods are stored safely. Operations such as packaging, processing, consolidation and splitting can also be carried out. Using a bonded warehouse increases efficiency, reduces costs, improves customer satisfaction and facilitates market access.
Things to consider when choosing a bonded warehouse:
Location: Proximity of the warehouse to transport networks
Capacity: Capacity suited to your storage needs
Safety: Measures taken to keep goods secure
Technology: The technological infrastructure it uses
Services: Additional services offered (e.g. customs clearance, insurance)
