Our bonded warehousing solutions are designed to help importers defer duty payments, maintain compliance with CBP regulations, and gain greater control over their supply chain operations.

Whether you're importing high-value consumer goods, regulated cosmetics, or seasonal inventory, Snapl offers a secure, compliant, and scalable bonded storage solution near Boston.

What Is a Bonded Warehouse?

A bonded warehouse is a secure facility authorized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) where imported goods can be stored without paying duties or taxes until the goods enter the domestic market. This allows importers to delay duty payments, re-export without penalty, or process goods (e.g., relabeling, kitting, inspection) while under customs control.

Snapl operates a Class 3 bonded warehouse, which allows us to receive, store, pack, repack, sort, and manipulate imported merchandise without immediate duty payment. Duties are only paid when goods are withdrawn for U.S. consumption, offering significant advantages in cash flow, compliance, and flexibility.
