Navigating cross-border deliveries into Canada and especially Vancouver can be tricky, but understanding the warehousing options available to you, such as bonded and sufferance, can make all the difference.
Bonded warehouses allow you to store products in Canada for up to four years without having to pay any customs or duty fees. While in storage, businesses can modify goods and prepare them for the next leg of delivery, making them an excellent choice for optimizing cash flow and operations.
On the other hand, sufferance warehouses provide an efficient way to manage short-term storage and customs clearance. Fully licensed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), these warehouses can store goods for up to 40 days, streamlining your import process. If your business is importing goods into Vancouver or anywhere in Canada, choosing the right warehouse option can significantly ease your logistical challenges and enhance efficiency.
Why Choose Vancouver for a Bonded Warehouse?
One key geographic advantage of a Vancouver bonded 3PL warehouse is its strategic location near major seaports, international airports, and national rail networks. This makes the city an ideal hub for cross-border transportation between the U.S. and Pacific markets.
By using our Vancouver 3PL bonded warehouse as your cross-border transportation hub, your business can deliver products into the Canadian market from all across the globe while deferring taxes until the shipment is ready for its next destination.
Our warehouse is part of the CBSA Customs Bonded Warehouse Program, and our trained staff ensures that your goods are stored in a compliant and secure environment.
