FAQ

Class 3 bonded storage, answered

What importers, forwarders and online sellers ask before using public bonded storage in Miami.
Ask us directly
or call +1 (646) 722-0968

What is a Class 3 bonded warehouse used for?

+
For storing imports under U.S. Customs control while deferring duty payment. A Class 3 facility is licensed under 19 CFR §19.1 and open to the general public, so importers use it without a bonded warehouse of their own. The warehouse proprietor posts a customs bond and keeps inventory records for CBP on every package under bond.

How does public bonded warehousing work?

+
Goods are stored under CBP supervision and can be accessed by any authorized importer. Cargo waits there for customs release, re-export or local distribution, with duty payment deferred while it stays under bond. Goods can move in-bond from the port to the warehouse, and are later withdrawn for consumption, for export or for transportation to another port.

How long can I store goods in a Class 3 bonded warehouse?

+
Storage is allowed for up to five years, depending on regulatory and customs conditions. The five-year period runs from the date of importation, and duty is paid only when the goods are withdrawn for consumption.

How does Class 3 storage help with demurrage?

+
Moving cargo from the port into public bonded storage helps you avoid demurrage and port congestion, while deferred duties improve cash flow. Demurrage and per diem charges start when container free time expires, so moving the cargo out of the terminal early avoids them.

What cargo is your Class 3 warehouse in Miami set up for?

+
It is optimized for dry goods, CPG and general cargo, and is ideal for regulated industries like apparel and electronics. Cargo stays under bond until it is entered for consumption, so duty on apparel and electronics is paid only when the goods are released.

Can you manage documentation and customs clearance?

+
Yes. We coordinate with brokers and handle bonded paperwork end to end, including documentation and compliance oversight. Typical paperwork includes CBP Form 7512 for the in-bond movement and CBP Form 7501 for the entry.

Where is the facility located?

+
Close to the Port of Miami and Miami International Airport, and fully integrated with our ocean, air and domestic freight services. It is part of a network of four facilities totaling 300,000+ sq ft, anchored by the Miami headquarters building.

How do I get a Class 3 storage quote?

+
Send the cargo, volume and expected time under bond through the form. Dani replies within one business day with space, paperwork and rates itemized. Include the commodity, volume in pallets or cubic feet and the HTSUS code if known, so the quote reflects the expected time under bond.
