| Our
Services: Bonded Warehouse Facility
A
customs bonded warehouse is a building or warehouse
authorized by Customs used to store goods without the
payment of duties.
RGV Import
and Export provides over 5,000 sq. ft. of bonded warehousing
to customs brokers and importers for the storage of
goods undergoing Customs examination, holding imported
goods, and for the storage of General Order merchandise.
Our bonded warehousing provides the highest degree of
security with electric perimeter fencing and 24-hour
surveillance and monitoring.
What
is a General Order Warehouse?
A general
order warehouse is a Customs-approved bonded facility
where goods imported into the United States are placed,
when an entry form has not been filed with Customs within
15 days of arrival. If after 6 months the goods have
not been documented or duties/fees paid, they will be
sold at auction, donated to charity or retained by the
Government.
