A Class 3 bonded warehouse is a U.S. Customs-licensed facility, defined in 19 CFR §19.1, open to the general public for storing imported goods under bond. Interworld Freight's Class 3 bonded warehouse in Miami lets importers defer duty payments while cargo stays under customs supervision, whether it is awaiting clearance, re-export or local distribution.
It is an official CBP-authorized Class 3 facility, licensed, compliant and secure, close to the Port of Miami and Miami International Airport, monitored and secured 24/7 and optimized for dry goods, CPG and general cargo. Because access is public, you store under bond without running a private facility, avoid demurrage and port congestion, and move cargo on through our ocean, air and domestic freight services.
