Overview

Bonded storage, with duty timed by your broker

Imported product does not always need to become domestic inventory on the day the ship docks. Bonded storage is the customs idea that lets merchandise sit under supervision while duty waits. A free trade zone can allow more activity inside the zone, sometimes including assembly, under a different set of rules.

From a Miami-area building, the operational work is ordinary even when the paperwork is not: receive the freight, keep the lot tied to its entry, and release only the portion you are ready to enter or to send abroad. Latin America and the Caribbean are common next stops for goods that should not pay US duty on the way through.

The building is bonded, and FTZ workflows are part of the operation: storage, manipulation, and assembly where the zone rules allow it. Your broker still owns the filing. We keep each lot tied to its entry and release only what the paperwork clears. Tariff exposure drops when you enter a portion, re-export the rest, or finish goods inside the zone.

Suitable for

  • Importers watching tariffs
  • Americas distributors
  • High-duty catalogs
  • Re-export programs

Included

What is included

  • Customs-bonded storage

    Imported goods sit in the bonded warehouse so duty lines up with a later withdrawal into US commerce.

  • FTZ handling

    Free trade zone workflows for brands whose broker wants storage, manipulation, or assembly inside the zone.

  • Partial withdrawals

    Enter only the units that are ready for the US market and leave the rest where they are.

  • Re-export

    Re-export toward Latin America or the Caribbean when the goods are not staying in the US.

  • Inventory tied to the entry

    Counts and movements kept so your broker can file withdrawals without reconstructing the week.

  • Broker coordination

    We work from the entry plan your customs broker owns. We do not replace that license.

Benefits

Why brands use this

Cash stays until the sale is real

Duty is deferred in the bonded warehouse and the FTZ until goods are withdrawn for the US, not merely because a vessel arrived.

A US entry is optional

Goods that leave the country from the bonded warehouse or the FTZ skip US duty. Your broker confirms the withdrawal.

A useful geography

The bonded warehouse and FTZ handling sit in Miami, on the trade route between US buyers and Latin America.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Our Miami building is customs-bonded, so imported merchandise can wait here and duty is tied to a withdrawal instead of to the landing. Re-exported goods can leave without US duty. Entries still follow current CBP rules through your broker.
