We offer secure storage for any items that benefit from deferred duty payments before entering circulation.
Duty Deferment
United Supplies offers customers the ability to defer customs duty using our Bonded Warehousing facility. This can allow you to streamline your accounting processes, maximise cash flow & improve delivery lead times.
For any goods that are stored with us in our Bonded Warehouse, any duty and VAT payments that are due on these are deferred until the products are removed from the premises and put into free circulation.
This can result in charges being deferred for many years until the products are ready for consumption or resale in free circulation. We have long-term expertise at clearing customs documentation in-house and our customers can be assured that the correct documentation and procedures are always followed.
We can also accomodate products which are subsequently exported abroad from our facility, which may then avoid duty completely. Some customers use this flexibility as a cost-effective means to easily switch markets depending on demand.
Many customers find that using our facilities allows them to manage their inventory in a more strategic and cost-effective way, allowing them to get the right products to the right market at the right time.
