Store your imported cargo near the Port of Los Angeles — without paying customs duties until you're ready. CBP-approved, C-TPAT certified, and fully integrated with our in-house customs brokerage team.
A CBP-approved bonded warehouse is a secure, licensed facility where imported goods can be stored without paying U.S. customs duties until the merchandise is withdrawn for domestic sale or re-exported. Under federal law, goods may remain in bond for up to five years from the date of importation.
For importers dealing with high-volume or high-duty-rate goods — electronics, apparel, automotive parts, consumer goods — a bonded warehouse near the Port of Los Angeles is one of the most effective tools available to improve working capital and simplify customs compliance.
LAX Freight Delivery operates a CBP-approved Class 3 bonded warehouse in Commerce, CA (Greater Los Angeles), serving importers through the Port of LA, Port of Long Beach, and LAX air freight channels.
A Class 3 bonded warehouse is authorized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to store general merchandise. Unlike a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ), duties are deferred — not eliminated — but the setup is simpler and ideal for most commercial importers moving goods through the Port of Los Angeles.
A bonded warehouse defers duties until goods are released into U.S. commerce. An FTZ can reduce or eliminate duties through manipulation or re-export. Our in-house customs brokers can advise you on which structure saves your business more money based on your specific commodity and volume.
