Customs Warehousing

A Customs Warehouse is a special facility where organisations can store goods with the payment of duties (such as customs duties or import VAT) suspended until the goods are either removed from the warehouse or subjected to another customs procedure. This allows businesses to manage their cash flow more effectively and offers flexibility in handling goods that are intended for re-export or further processing.

This system benefits businesses by deferring the payment of duties, providing flexibility in managing inventory, and supporting international trade operations.

Requirements 

To operate a customs warehouse, the following requirements must be met:

• Comprehensive Record-Keeping System: This can range from a simple spreadsheet to an integrated duty management software solution, ensuring accurate tracking and control of all goods under customs supervision.
• Secure Storage Facilities: The warehouse must have robust security measures in place, typically including CCTV surveillance and alarm systems as a minimum, to prevent unauthorised access and safeguard the goods stored.
