Bonded Shipment

A bonded shipment refers to cargo transported under customs control without paying duties or taxes upfront. Businesses can defer these charges until goods reach their final destination. As a result, they maintain better cash flow and gain more flexibility in planning.

Bonded shipments, deferred duties, and customs compliance are essential for smooth cross-border logistics. With bonded shipping, cargo moves under customs control without immediate payment of duties or taxes, improving cash flow for businesses.

What is a Bonded Shipment?

A bonded shipment refers to goods transported under customs control without paying duties or taxes upfront. This option helps businesses move cargo through Canada while deferring fees until the goods reach their destination. As a result, companies improve cash flow and gain flexibility in inventory management. For example, bonded cargo remains sealed and secured until customs clearance is complete. In addition, this process supports compliance with trade laws and reduces the risk of customs-related delays.
