What Is Bonded Warehousing — And How It Works

 

  • What is bonded warehousing?

Bonded warehousing is a form of temporary storage where import duties and VAT are deferred until the goods are released into free circulation. This avoids double payment and significantly optimizes cash flow. At De Rijke, bonded warehousing provides a smart interim solution, ideal for handling fluctuations in demand or aligning with export calendars—such as those from India.

  • Why choose bonded warehousing at De Rijke?

Our bonded facilities are equipped with integrated Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) that provide barcode and QR-code tracking, as well as full traceability from arrival to dispatch. We support your supply chain with value-added logistics like repackaging, labeling, filling, and transport preparation.

  • Faster delivery, shorter lead times

One of the key benefits of bonded warehousing is the ability to reduce lead times. Goods can be stored close to their final destination and made available quickly once cleared, allowing you to respond faster to customer demand and improve overall delivery performance.

Frequently Asked Questions – Chemical warehousing from India with De Rijke Logistics

Bonded warehousing is a system where imported goods can be stored in a secure location without paying import duties or VAT until they are officially released into the local market. For Indian exporters, this means your goods can enter the EU, be stored safely, and remain exempt from taxes until a buyer or destination is confirmed. This creates significant cash flow advantages and flexibility when navigating uncertain or seasonal demand.

Yes. We specialize in chemical warehousing & transportation for goods exported from India. Our team manages shipments from Indian ports to Rotterdam, and provides full storage, handling, and onward distribution within Europe.

This includes PGS‑15 for hazardous materials, BRZO for high-risk substances, AEO for customs compliance, ISO 9001 for quality management, and SQAS for safety and quality in chemical logistics.

Bonded warehousing allows Indian exporters to ship in bulk and consolidate inventory closer to their European customers. De Rijke offers inventory segmentation, labeling, and repackaging services that let you ship full loads from India and split or relabel goods as needed in Rotterdam—without releasing the entire shipment into free circulation.
