Defer Duties, Increase Cash Flow

Bonded warehouses allow importers to store goods without paying customs duties and taxes until the products are released into the Canadian market. This can significantly improve cash flow, especially for businesses that import goods for re-export or hold inventory for extended periods before domestic sale.

WAREX's exchange includes Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) licensed bonded warehouses across the country. These facilities maintain strict security, inventory tracking, and compliance protocols required by the Customs Bonded Warehousing program. We match your import volume and product type with the right bonded facility.
