Boston-Area Bonded 3PL & Customs Fulfillment Services

Snapl Solutions is a certified bonded 3PL and customs warehousing provider serving importers, wholesalers, and ecommerce brands throughout Greater Boston and New England. Our bonded warehouse is located in South Hadley, Massachusetts—just 90 minutes west of downtown Boston—making it a strategic inland hub for businesses looking to store, process, and distribute imported goods under U.S. Customs bond.

By leveraging bonded warehousing services, Boston-based companies can legally defer payment of import duties and taxes until goods are released into U.S. commerce—or avoid them altogether if those goods are re-exported. Snapl provides everything from port-to-warehouse bonded transfers and CBP documentation to relabeling, kitting, deferred duty fulfillment, and export support.

Bonded vs. Non-Bonded Warehouses: Key Differences Explained

What Is a Bonded 3PL?

A Bonded 3PL (Third-Party Logistics provider) is a logistics company licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to operate a customs-bonded warehouse. In these secure, regulated facilities, companies can store, repackage, manipulate, and ship imported goods without paying duties or tariffs until the merchandise is formally released into domestic commerce.

Why Use a Bonded 3PL in Boston?

Boston importers increasingly rely on bonded warehousing to:

  • Defer or eliminate U.S. import duties
  • Improve cash flow and reduce landed costs
  • Consolidate shipments from multiple suppliers or countries
  • Comply with CBP regulations for in-bond goods
  • Maintain operational flexibility for ecommerce and retail distribution
  • Export products directly from bond without triggering duty

For companies importing through Port of Boston, Logan International Airport, Port of New York/Newark, or Port of Providence, Snapl provides a fully integrated bonded 3PL solution to manage all compliance, documentation, and logistics activities.
