Both bonded warehousing and FTZ storage allow importers to defer customs duties. A bonded warehouse is licensed by US Customs for storage of dutiable goods with duty deferred until the goods enter US commerce. A Foreign Trade Zone is a designated area considered outside US Customs territory where a broader range of activities including manufacturing and processing are permitted and where additional duty benefits such as inverted tariff relief may be available.
Imported goods can be stored in a US Customs bonded warehouse for up to five years without paying customs duties. This gives importers significant flexibility in managing duty obligations and inventory timing.
Meiborg works closely with licensed customs brokers and freight forwarders to support the documentation requirements for bonded and FTZ operations.
