Bonded Warehouse and Depot Operations
Through partner customs-bonded warehouses, free-zone facilities and specialised depots planned for each project, we manage your pre-import temporary storage, in-warehouse processing and handling operations. A bonded warehouse is more than storage — it is a tax-deferred, inward-processable, export-ready zone.
Bonded Warehouse Types
- Type A General Bonded: High-volume import goods
- Type B Special Bonded: Single-importer dedicated operations
- Type C: Untaxed special-goods storage
- Type E: Production-focused processing warehouse
- Free Zone: Storage in free zones through partner operators
Bonded Warehouse Services
- Warehouse entry / exit declarations
- Cargo handling (sorting, packing, labelling, consolidation)
- Sampling and laboratory analysis coordination
- In-warehouse display and customer inspection area
- Stock follow-up and reporting
- Partial release and distribution (cross-docking)
- Warehouse insurance coverage
Bonded Warehouse Advantages
Under bonded regime, customs duty is deferred until exit — preserving your cash flow and unlocking inward-processing benefits. In-warehouse handling allows products to be readied for export, enabling rapid re-export.
