Bonded warehouse in Karachi from Ibrahim Logistics: Storage under customs control, so duty is paid only when the goods are cleared for use.
A bonded warehouse holds imported goods under customs control without duty being paid up front. Duty and taxes are paid only when the goods are cleared for local use, which helps cash flow, especially for high-duty products or goods destined for re-export.
We arrange storage through licensed partner warehouses near the port and handle the customs paperwork for entry, storage and release. Conditions depend on the goods and the licence.
