Logistics Plus Secures Customs Bonding for New Strongsville, OH Warehouse
Additional Customs bonding is expected soon at many of its other warehouses across the U.S.
ERIE, PA (January 30, 2024) – Logistics Plus, Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, has secured Customs bonding from the U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) at its new warehouse located south of Cleveland, OH. The 165 thousand square foot warehouse located in Strongsville, OH, was officially opened late last year. Additional Customs bonds are in progress for Logistics Plus warehouses in Phoenix, AZ, Chicago, IL, Memphis, TN, and Dallas, TX.
Customs bonded warehouses are a type of warehouse where goods can be stored and processed before paying taxes. The primary users of bonded warehouses are importers and exporters who need to store goods temporarily before shipping them to their final destination.
Benefits of using a Customs bonded warehouse include:
Avoiding expensive terminal fees associated with withhold release orders (WRO) holds for shipments reviewed for the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).
Allows importers to delay paying duties on their imported goods.
If the goods are destroyed under CBP supervision, no duty is payable.
Goods stored in a bonded warehouse are exempt from customs inspections, saving the importer time and money.
Offers increased security for goods because Customs officials monitor them.
Under CBP supervision, goods can be manipulated by cleaning, sorting, repacking, or otherwise changing their condition by processes that do not amount to manufacturing.
Goods may be exported without the payment of duty, or they may be withdrawn for consumption upon payment of duty at the rate applicable to the goods in their manipulated condition at the time of withdrawal.
Goods may remain in the bonded warehouse for up to five years from the date of importation, allowing the importer additional time to handle the paperwork and legal formalities.
“Many bonded warehouses across the U.S. are private, meaning they are dedicated to only one importer,” said Gretchen Blough, Customs Brokerage Manager for Logistics Plus. “This means that bonded warehouse space is very scarce and at a premium when it can be found. We decided to create our own bonded warehouse space with our existing public warehouses so our customers have better options than what is currently available in the warehousing market.”
