Bonded and Sufferance Warehouse Services in Vancouver
Understanding the distinctions between bonded and sufferance warehouses is key to optimizing your logistics strategy. Both services cater to specific needs, providing unique advantages depending on the nature of your goods and business objectives.
Sufferance Warehouse Services
Our customs sufferance warehouse is fully licensed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). This ensures compliance with federal regulations while offering critical services such as:
- Short-Term Storage: Goods can be securely stored for up to 40 days, allowing time for inspection, clearance, or subsequent shipment.
- In-Bond Goods Management: From initial arrival to final clearance or export, our team ensures precise handling of your goods.
- CBSA Inspections and Delivery: We provide a controlled environment where in-bond goods can be examined and processed with efficiency.
Our sufferance services cater to businesses needing a temporary storage solution for managing imported goods under CBSA oversight. This secure facility is ideal for ensuring compliance during the import process while enabling quick transitions to the next phase of your supply chain operations.
Bonded Warehouse Services
Our customs bonded warehouse facility is an invaluable resource for businesses seeking extended storage options with financial flexibility. Licensed by CBSA, our bonded warehouse allows companies to store goods—both imported and domestic—for up to four years. This service includes:
- Duty Deferral: Duties and taxes (including GST) are deferred while goods remain in storage, providing a significant cash flow advantage.
- Strategic Storage: Ideal for goods held as inventory, imported on consignment, or awaiting export.
- Value-Added Services: Goods stored in our bonded warehouse can undergo various processes to meet specific business needs, such as:
- Labeling and marking for market compliance.
- Packaging or repackaging to meet retail or transportation requirements.
- Testing and quality control to separate defective products.
- Refining processes like cutting, trimming, or diluting products for optimal performance or marketability.
- Disassembly or reassembly for easier transportation and handling.
These services allow businesses to maximize the value of their goods and ensure they are market-ready, all while deferring costs until products are introduced into the Canadian market.
