Bonded Warehouse
A bonded warehouse is a customs-approved premises for storing bonded goods under supervision. Importers care about three things: what can enter, how it is managed, and when duty is paid.
QWhat is the difference between a bonded and a normal warehouse?
A bonded warehouse is customs-supervised: goods can be stored before formal import clearance and duty, paying only as they leave—easing cash flow. A normal warehouse holds duty-paid domestic goods. Bonded sites are customs-approved with linked ledgers and on-demand inspection.
QWhat goods can be stored in a bonded warehouse?
Typically processing-trade goods, transit/for-sale imports and cross-border bonded stock. Prohibited/restricted or licence-required goods follow separate rules. Yunxiu mainly handles imported consumer categories (wine, cosmetics, supplements, food, mother-and-baby, electronics, etc.); eligibility is confirmed per category and customs requirements.
QWhat is the minimum area for a public bonded warehouse?
Under China customs rules, a public bonded warehouse requires a minimum area of 2,000 m² (liquid bonded warehouses ≥ 5,000 m³). Yunxiu operates at Hongqiao Bonded Logistics Center with about 4,170 m² of leasable bonded space.
QHow is bonded warehouse rental charged?
Bonded costs usually span storage, handling, value-added work (labelling/tally/kitting) and distribution, billed by area, pallet or order, and affected by cargo, term and workload. Yunxiu quotes per actuals—please enquire with your cargo and needs; no fixed prices are listed here.
QHow do I judge whether a bonded warehouse is compliant?
Check four things: customs approval, ledger linkage with customs, ability to provide bonded transfer/duty documents, and supervised-site conditions. Yunxiu’s site is a customs-supervised warehouse with AEO Advanced and ISO9001, ledgers reconciled with customs.
QDoes bonded-warehouse dispatch guarantee authenticity?
"Bonded" only means goods entered and are stored under customs supervision; it does not certify authenticity. Genuine status depends on sourcing and the clearance chain; a compliant chain is customs-inspected, ledger-auditable with verifiable documents.
