6 Benefits to Bonded Warehousing
1) Long Term Storage
Goods may be stored in UK bonded warehouses indefinitely. On some occasions, manipulation of the goods is required to satisfy import licensing requirements, so there may be a time limit.
2) Improved Customer Service
Bonded warehousing is a significant advantage to end customers as it allows goods to be ordered and stored in advance of anticipated demand, ready to be dispatched when needed.
3) Quality Preservation
Due to the nature of what is stored, bonded warehouse facilities such as our own are maintained at a higher standard to preserve the integrity of the goods. In particular, fine art and antiques require careful handling, which a bonded warehouse like AirSea’s is more experienced in delivering.
4) Safety and Security
Again, due to the nature and value of the goods stored, bonded warehouses typically have higher levels of both security and safety to protect both the goods and those handling them. The HMRC approval process to establish a customs warehouse is subject to careful assessment and regular auditing to ensure standards are maintained.
5) Proximity to Ports and Airports
As with AirSea Packing, most bonded warehouses are situated close to major ports and airports to make it easier to receive (and export) goods.
6) Complete Suite of White-Glove Services
