Importers Face Challenges With Bonded Goods Deferred Duties

Importers Face Challenges With Bonded Goods Deferred Duties

Bonded goods refer to imported commodities for which customs duties are temporarily not paid and are required to be stored in a bonded warehouse under customs supervision. This system provides enterprises with financial flexibility, simplifies trade processes, and ensures the safety of goods. During the bonded period, goods can also undergo simple processing, repackaging, and re-export trade, promoting international trade development. This allows businesses to defer duty payments until the goods are actually released into the domestic market, improving cash flow and competitiveness.
