One of our key strengths at JJX is our state-of-the-art customs and excise approved bonded warehouse. But what does "bonded" mean and how can it benefit you?
A bonded warehouse is a secure facility where imported goods can be stored without the need to pay import duties or taxes until they are released for distribution. This allows businesses to store their goods without immediate customs clearance, reducing upfront costs and providing greater flexibility in managing their inventory. This is particularly advantageous for companies engaged in international trade as it eases cash flow and streamlines the supply chain process.
Difference between a Customs, an Excise and a Bonded Warehouse
A Bonded warehouse refers to any place where imported goods can be stored or undergo manufacturing operations without having to pay the necessary duties on it until it enters general circulation. The type of goods are split into two categories, Excise goods which are subject to excise duty such as alcohol and Customs goods which are those that don't. Common practices now are to refer to the facility as either a Customs Bonded or Excise Bonded warehouse.
Eligibity Criteria
To be eligible for customs bonded warehousing, your goods must be imported from a foreign customs territory, remain under customs control and be liable to customs duties and/or import VAT. Once products are delivered to the warehouse, both the importer and warehouse owner become liable for the goods under a bond. This liability is only cancelled when the goods are exported, destroyed or sold to local markets after payment of duties. Our in-house customs knowledge experts are always on hand to advise you on the various procedures.

The Bonded Warehousekeepers Association
The Bonded Warehousekeepers Association (BWA) have come a long way from their humble beginnings dating back to their first meeting at the Steels Hotel in Glasgow way back in May 1885 when membership was priced at 1 guinea. In the 138 years that have followed, the group have grown to nearly 100 members up and down the country with just Whyte & Mackey the last surviving business from the very start.
Containing a Board of Directors lined with industry experts and former HMRC compliance staff, the opportunity for knowledge and insights sharing that comes from our membership with the BWA is second to none. The BWA team has proved invaluable during our application to gain Excise approval on our West Midlands warehouse site which was successfully granted by HMRC towards the end of 2023.
