A Customs Warehouse, sometimes referred to as a Bonded Warehouse, is a customs special procedure used by businesses who both import and re-export goods to territories outside the location in which they are stored in. For example, fulfilling e-commerce sales to customers based outside the UK.
By placing goods into a Customs Warehouse, businesses can suspend import duty and import VAT until the goods are released or re-exported, improving cash flow and reducing upfront tax costs. When managed effectively, this can deliver meaningful savings and support international growth.
