What Is a Customs Bonded Warehouse?
A customs bonded warehouse is a secure facility authorized by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to store imported goods without incurring duties. By delaying duty payment until the goods are ready to enter the US market (i.e. when you have a buyer), businesses can improve cash flow, manage inventory more effectively, and reduce tariff exposure. Manufacturers and exporters may also reduce — or even avoid — duties on imported components used in goods that are ultimately exported.
Bonded Warehouses vs. FTZs
Both bonded warehouses and Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) help businesses defer duties on imported goods. However, each option offers distinct advantages depending on your supply chain needs.
