Bonded Warehousing: Postpone Duties, Boost Your Flexibility
When your shipments arrive in the U.S., using a bonded warehouse gives you a huge advantage: you don’t have to pay duties or tariffs immediately.
Think of it as a pause button—your goods are still considered “in transit” until you decide to release them into the U.S. market. This setup gives you breathing room to plan better, sell more strategically, or even re-export, skipping duties altogether if that’s your route.
Here’s What ILS Offers with Bonded Warehousing:
- Full-service customs brokerage, including IT and T&E entries
- Long-term and consolidation storage options
- Secured facilities with surveillance and access control
- Better cost management by deferring duties until you’re ready
This solution is a no-brainer for businesses that want to keep flexibility in their distribution plans, especially when tariff policies can change overnight.
Tariffs don’t wait. Neither should you. Store smarter with bonded warehousing that keeps your margins safe!
