What is an Entrepot Warehouse?

A bonded warehouse, also known as a customs warehouse, is a facility where goods can be temporarily stored without having to pay import duties and taxes immediately. These goods can be stored, managed or repackaged with customs duty deferred until they eventually reach their destination within the EU or for export outside the EU.

Types of Entrepots

There are different types of entrepots, each with specific characteristics:

  1. A public warehouse where multiple companies can store their goods.
  2. A private warehouse used exclusively by the licensed company.
  3. A facility in which goods are stored at another location under customs supervision.

Benefits of temporary storage in a bonded warehouse

  1. Deferral of Taxes and Duties
    By using a bonded warehouse, you can defer paying import duties and taxes until the goods are actually imported to the European market or transited to other countries.
  2. Flexibility in Supply Chain Management
    Warehouse storage offers companies more flexibility in managing their supply chain, as they can store, sort, or repackage goods without rushing through customs clearance.
  3. Cost savings
    Deferring customs duties and taxes can help improve cash flow and minimize storage costs, especially for goods that are not immediately resold.

How does storage in an Entrepot Warehouse work?

Permit requirements

To use a bonded warehouse, a company must apply for a permit from customs authorities. This process requires accurate record keeping and compliance with customs regulations.

Management and Administration

Goods stored in a warehouse must be accurately recorded and tracked. This ensures compliance with customs legislation and facilitates smooth transit of goods.
