# Bonded Warehouse

A bonded (customs) warehouse is a facility where imported goods can be stored under customs supervision before import duty and VAT are paid; duty is deferred for as long as the goods remain in the warehouse.

This lets the final [customs declaration](/en/insights/customs-declaration) happen when the goods are actually sold or released, not the moment they arrive, for example, an importer can hold stock in bond until a buyer is confirmed rather than clearing and paying duty immediately. Dealti Logistics plans road transport into or out of bonded warehouses on the Turkey-Central Asia route in coordination with the customs broker handling the declaration.
