Warehousing and Bonded Storage
Storage in bonded and non-bonded warehouses, with labelling and packing services.
We offer storage in both bonded and non-bonded warehouses. In a bonded warehouse the duty liability is deferred until the goods are released, which gives you flexibility in cash flow.
Alongside storage, value-added operations such as labelling, packing and preparation for dispatch are carried out in the same facility, so your cargo leaves ready for distribution.

- Importers who want to hold stock while deferring duty
- Businesses needing labelling and packing before distribution
- Shippers and consignees consolidating their shipments

Questions About This Service
What is the difference between groupage and full-load transport?
In a full load the whole vehicle is dedicated to one consignment, so your cargo is not consolidated with others and is not transhipped. In groupage your shipment travels together with other cargo on the same route. Groupage is usually cheaper; a full load is faster and avoids transhipment.
How do I work out the volume of my cargo?
Enter the length, width, height and quantity of each package into the volume calculator. It accepts both centimetres and metres and shows the volume per row as well as the total. You can carry the result into the quote form with one click.
Is my cargo insured?
Our road transport is carried out under CMR insurance, which covers the carrier's liability within the terms of the international convention. Additional cover can be arranged on request depending on the nature and value of the cargo.
What is a bonded warehouse used for?
While goods sit in a bonded warehouse, the duty liability is deferred until they are released. This gives importers flexibility in cash flow and lets them draw the goods down in parts as they are needed.
