Bonded Warehousing

Custom Bonded warehouses are able to store dutiable goods with the added advantage of deferring  payment of import duty and VAT until the goods are removed from the warehouse and sold in the UK. The reasons for choosing a Bonded warehouse is to either delay paying import duty and VAT on your imported stock until you have secured sale of the goods, thus saving a large initial outlay, or if once the goods have been imported you wish to re -export the goods outside of the UK where duty or VAT may not be payable.  Bonded warehouses offer the importer cash flow advantages and options to re-export without paying the duty should the goods not sell in the UK.
