Bonded Storage ยท Duty Deferral

Bonded warehouse storage, duty paid when you are ready

Store imported goods in a customs bonded warehouse in Houston and pay duty only when they leave for the US market, or none at all if they are re-exported.

How bonded storage works

Goods entered into a bonded warehouse stay under CBP control. Duty is paid when goods are withdrawn for consumption, so you can pay as you sell instead of all at once when the container lands. Goods re-exported from bond generally do not pay US duty.

  • Duty deferred on slow-moving or seasonal stock
  • Re-export to Mexico or other markets without US duty
  • Partial withdrawals matched to your sales
  • Entry and withdrawal filings handled by our customs team

Built for businesses that import on a schedule

We work with brands, Amazon sellers, e-commerce and online store owners, wholesalers, retailers, and manufacturers that bring in shipments regularly, most often from China.
