What Is a Class 3 Bonded Warehouse?

A Class 3 Bonded Warehouse, as defined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, is a public bonded warehouse where imported goods can be stored, manipulated, repacked, or transferred while deferring the payment of import duties and taxes. These facilities are subject to strict CBP regulations, audits, and physical security standards.

With a bonded warehouse, importers can:

  • Defer duty payments until merchandise is withdrawn for consumption
  • Re-export goods without ever paying U.S. duties
  • Hold inventory for up to 5 years under bond
  • Consolidate international shipments
  • Perform value-added services like labeling, sorting, kitting, and repackaging under CBP supervision
