Defer Duties, Not Decisions: Bonded Storage Available in Key Ports
In today’s unpredictable global trade environment, flexibility is everything. Shippers need options that preserve capital, protect supply chains, and allow them to respond quickly to shifting tariff policies. That’s where STG Logistics’ Class 3 bonded warehouses come in—offering importers more control than ever before.
What is a Class 3 Bonded Warehouse?
A Class 3 bonded warehouse is a customs-supervised facility where imported goods can be stored for up to five years without immediate payment of duties and taxes. Instead of tying up capital upfront, shippers can defer these payments until goods are withdrawn for U.S. consumption—or avoid them entirely if products are re-exported.
