Why to consider using our custom made warehousing solutions?
Customs clearance is essential for international trade, and one of the main disadvantages of not considering warehouse solutions throughout your logistics process is that the customs officials won’t physically inspect the imported freight upon its arrival at the port.
This isn’t good because it often leads to congestion at the offloading point and results in delays in delivery. It is better for US and Mexico Customs officials to work with bonded warehouses that can receive and hold the imported goods until the paperwork and inspections are completed, required duties accomplished and taxes paid. The warehouse solutions services allow us to handle the transportation of goods to our warehouses, so that once customs clearance is emitted, we could direct them to their final destination.
Our bonded warehouses are equipped to receive and hold imported goods until all the paperwork required is completed in full, inspections finalized, and all duties and taxes gave been paid.
