Forwarding, General, Guide

Bonded warehousing is useful for importers, exporters, distributors, manufacturers and businesses moving goods into the UK or EU from international markets.

Forwarding, General, Guide

Yes. Peters & May provides customs clearance, documentation support, international freight forwarding and onward distribution alongside bonded warehousing.

Forwarding, General, Guide

Duties and VAT are usually paid when goods are released from the bonded warehouse and enter the local market. Until that point, goods remain under customs control.

Forwarding, General, Guide

Yes. Goods can be imported into the EU, stored in a bonded warehouse and then released as required for onward delivery across Europe. This can reduce the need for multiple individual shipments and separate customs clearances.

Forwarding, General, Guide

Bonded warehousing can help businesses improve cash flow, manage inventory more efficiently and store goods closer to their customers before releasing them for distribution.

Forwarding, General, Guide

A customs bonded warehouse is a secure, customs-controlled facility where imported goods can be stored before duties and VAT are paid. Taxes are only paid when the goods are released into free circulation.

About Us, Already Booked, Before making a booking, Project Cargo, Racing Yachts, Yacht Shipping

There are two different types of insurance typically associated with yachts: insurance relating to transport, and insurance relating to ownership of the vessel. Peters & May specialises in yacht transport and participates in an open cover marine cargo insurance programme, which allows Peters & May to arrange protection for your yacht while it is being shipped. This is separate from annual yacht ownership insurance, which provides year-round cover for the vessel itself. While we do not provide ownership insurance directly, we can introduce clients to trusted marine insurance specialists who arrange bespoke policies for yacht owners, captains, and management companies. These policies may include cover for:

  • Hull & Machinery
  • Liability (P&I)
  • Cruising region extensions
  • Crew and operational risks
  • Racing cover (where relevant)
