Bonded warehousing is useful for importers, exporters, distributors, manufacturers and businesses moving goods into the UK or EU from international markets.
Bonded warehousing can help businesses improve cash flow, manage inventory more efficiently and store goods closer to their customers before releasing them for distribution.
