Not every shipment needs to clear and pay duty the moment it lands. A bonded warehouse lets you store imported goods under customs control and defer duty until you actually withdraw them, which can be a real cash-flow advantage. We arrange bonded and general storage plus container freight station service across the LA basin.

Why Use a Bonded Warehouse

Defer duty until goods are withdrawn for consumption, improving cash flow.
Store, sort, or repack under customs supervision.
Re-export without ever paying US duty on goods that leave again.

Container Freight Station Service

For LCL and multi-supplier shipments, a container freight station is where a consolidated container is deconsolidated and each importer's goods are separated and released. We coordinate the CFS process so your portion of a shared container clears cleanly.

Storage to Distribution

When you are ready, we move goods from storage into distribution across the LA basin, or arrange re-export if that is the plan.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bonded warehouse?

A facility where imported goods are stored under customs control with duty deferred until the goods are withdrawn. It is useful for cash flow and for goods that may be re-exported.

What is a container freight station?

A CFS is where consolidated LCL containers are deconsolidated so each importer's goods are separated, examined if needed, and released. We coordinate this for shared-container shipments.

Can I defer duty on my imports?

Yes, by storing goods in a bonded warehouse. You pay duty only when you withdraw the goods for consumption, not when they arrive.
