Bonded warehousing
Defer up to €1,000,000 in VAT and import duties. Improve your cash flow and gain financial headroom to invest in growth.
What is bonded warehousing?
With bonded warehousing, imported goods are stored under customs supervision. This means you only need to pay VAT and import duties at the moment the goods leave the bonded warehouse — not on arrival.
For e-commerce companies that purchase internationally, this can make an enormous difference to cash flow. Imagine: a container from China with €500,000 worth of goods. Normally you pay VAT and import duties immediately. With bonded warehousing you defer that payment until the moment of sale.
