Bonded Warehousing

Customs bonded storage with duty deferral for imported goods under customs supervision.

Bonded warehousing allows you to store imported goods without paying customs duties or VAT until the goods are released into domestic free circulation. This is a powerful financial and operational tool for businesses that import from outside the EU, particularly those that re-export goods or distribute across multiple markets.

Transfactor Logistics operates customs-authorized bonded warehouse facilities where your goods are stored under customs supervision with full compliance and real-time inventory tracking. You decide when and how much to release from bond — paying duties only on the quantities you actually bring into domestic circulation.

For goods that are ultimately re-exported, bonded warehousing means they never incur domestic import duties at all. This makes our bonded facilities ideal as European distribution hubs for companies serving multiple international markets.
