What is a bonded trucker?

Answer 1

Warehousing is an integral part of conducting business. Every business has different warehouse requirements, which is why various formats of warehousing have been developed to meet the needs of every business. Warehouse Receipt Law and Bonded Warehousing are two of the most common types.

Bonded warehouses are those warehouse facilities that are strictly operated and regulated by customs authorities. Imported goods that have to be further exported after carrying out some manipulation work are stored in these bonded warehouses. Manipulation work includes any process, including repackaging and assembling, which does not qualify as manufacturing. Bonded warehousing allows businesses to store imported goods for a while without paying customs duty on those which are to be exported. Any goods which are brought inside the country beyond the confines of a bonded warehouse will be charged with duties.

Warehouses Receipt, on the other hand, is simply a written or electronically printed acknowledgment that the goods stored in a warehouse, under the vigilance of the warehouse operator or his representative, belong to the business owner and not to the warehouse owner or the representative. This is used by multiple businesses, primarily domestic businesses that use warehousing facilities to store goods before distribution and sale.
