Key Benefits - How Bonded Warehouse Services Save You Money

Our CBW Class 3 certified facility transforms how you manage imports, dramatically improving cash flow while maintaining compliance.

  • Defer Customs Duties Up to 5 Years. Store imported goods duty-free until they're sold or distributed. This cash flow advantage can save high-volume importers tens of thousands annually by paying duties only when inventory moves, not when it arrives.
  • Reduce Carrying Costs by 15-30%. Eliminate the burden of paying duties on unsold inventory. Combined with strategic location near O'Hare and major railyards, you optimize both cash flow and logistics costs.
  • Eliminate Customs Hassles. Our experienced team handles all CBP documentation, customs examinations, entry forms, and withdrawal paperwork. Focus on your business while we ensure complete compliance.
  • Scale Flexibly with Your Business. From a few pallets to full truckloads, our 227,000 sq ft facility adapts to your needs. Climate-controlled zones, GDP compliant storage, and specialized handling for any cargo type.
  • Move Goods Faster to Market. Less than 5 miles from ORD, direct access to all major railyards, and same-day/next-day delivery to 200+ zip codes. Your inventory reaches customers faster from our strategic location.
  • Protect High-Value Cargo. 24/7 CCTV surveillance, secured dock doors, segregated high-value storage areas, and motion-activated lighting provide maximum security for electronics, pharmaceuticals, and luxury goods.
