February 28, 2009 - Bonded Warehouse - FreightCo Logistics Seattle
US Department of Homeland Security Bureau of Customs & Border Protection certifies FreightCo Logistics Seattle Center as a CFS and bonded warehouse.
Advantages of Using a Bonded Warehouse No duty is collected until merchandise is withdrawn for consumption. An importer, therefore, has control over use of his money until the duty is paid upon withdrawal of merchandise for the bonded warehouse. If no domestic buyer is found for the imported articles, the importer can sell merchandise for exportation, thereby eliminating his obligation to pay duty.
