In-Bond Bonded Warehousing(Import Tax Deferral)
Store your imported merchandise under customs custody with duties suspended. Avoid container demurrage fines from day one and nationalize in partial batches as you sell.
HOW IT WORKS STEP BY STEP?
- 01
Direct Port-to-In-Bond Transfer
Upon vessel or aircraft arrival, we file the In-Bond declaration without paying import duties.
- 02
Container Stripping & Carrier Return
We unload your pallets into the In-Bond facility and return the empty container on time to save demurrage.
- 03
Partial Releases Matching Your Sales Pace
Whenever you close a sale, we clear and pay duties only for that specific portion of inventory.
- 04
Dispatch to Your Warehouse or Direct to Your Buyer
We deliver each cleared batch to any city in Venezuela via our proprietary fleet.
Included benefits & scope
- Legal suspension of import duties and VAT while your inventory remains in the In-Bond warehouse
- Immediately stops container demurrage charges by stripping and returning the empty box to the carrier
- Partial clearances: release and pay taxes only for the pallets you plan to dispatch each week
- Option to re-export all or part of the inventory to third countries free of local import duties
When you bring in multiple containers or a high-value batch, paying 100% of import duties and VAT the day the ship arrives ties up your working capital. Our In-Bond General Bonded Warehouse service lets you transfer newly arrived goods into a customs-supervised facility with full tax suspension. You gain two immediate financial advantages: first, you strip and return the empty container to the shipping line right away (stopping daily dollar container demurrage charges cold); second, you nationalize and pay taxes in partial batches as your customers buy from you—or re-export the cargo to another country without paying local duties.
