A bonded warehouse is a secure facility, authorized and supervised by customs, where imported goods can be stored without paying import duty and tax until they leave the warehouse. Duty falls due only when the goods are withdrawn into the home market. If they are re-exported instead, the duty can be avoided altogether. The arrangement defers the cost and helps importers manage cash flow and distribution.
Bonded storage suits cargo awaiting sale, onward shipment, or staged release, and it is common at major ports and inland hubs. Texas International Freight coordinates bonded handling and the customs clearance around it so your heavy equipment moves on the schedule you need.
