Customs & Bonded Warehousing
Hold inventory close to your market without paying duty on day one. Bonded capacity in Qingdao and Zhoushan, matched by EU customs warehousing in Hamburg and Rotterdam.
Scope of service
China bonded operations
Both Chinese terminals hold customs-supervised bonded status with AEO Advanced certification, giving priority inspection treatment and reduced examination rates.
Duty and VAT deferral
Import duty and VAT fall due only when product leaves bond for the domestic market. Re-export from bond avoids Chinese import duty entirely.
EU mirror capacity
Hamburg and Rotterdam operate EU customs warehouses, so a single contract can cover bonded storage at both ends of the trade lane.
Documentation
Bonded ledger reconciliation, customs declarations, origin certification and audit support are handled by licensed brokers on our payroll, not subcontracted.
Frequently asked questions
No — Chinese customs requires physical segregation. We allocate separate tanks with independent metering.
