How do we help importers delay VAT or duty through bonded storage?
We assist importers in using bonded storage to manage their cash flow more efficiently by deferring import VAT and customs duty payments. Here’s how: 1. While the goods are in the bonded facility, no VAT or duty is payable. 2. Importers only pay customs duties and VAT when the goods are removed from the warehouse and released for free circulation in the UK market. 3. If goods are re-exported directly from the bonded warehouse to another country, no UK VAT or duty is paid at all. 4. This is ideal for businesses that import into the UK only for storage or redistribution abroad. 5. By deferring VAT/duty, importers retain working capital that can be used for other business operations.

Yes, we actively support eCommerce and Amazon sellers, offering a comprehensive suite of warehousing and fulfillment services tailored to online retail operations. Here’s how we help them: * FBA Prep Services: We prepare inventory for Amazon fulfillment centers by providing labeling, bundling, polybagging, and compliance checks in line with Amazon’s strict FBA requirements. * FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) Support: For clients using Amazon FBM or other marketplaces (e.g., Shopify, eBay, Etsy), we pick, pack, and dispatch orders directly to end customers using integrated courier services. * Returns Handling: We process returns from end-customers, perform quality checks, and restock or dispose of goods based on seller instructions. * Storage of Imported Goods: Sellers can store goods duty-free in our bonded warehouse and move inventory gradually based on sales volume, reducing upfront tax liabilities.

Yes, we offer both short-term and long-term storage solutions, depending on our clients’ needs: * Short-term storage: Ideal for seasonal stock, promotional campaigns, or temporary overflows. Clients benefit from flexible, pay-as-you-go options with minimal commitment—perfect for fast-moving eCommerce or project-based storage. * Long-term storage: Tailored for bulk inventory, slow-moving goods, or bonded stock awaiting customs clearance or distribution over time.
