Customs-bonded storage that defers duty and VAT

Store imported cargo under the supervision of Saudi Customs (ZATCA) and defer duty and VAT until goods are released for the local market or re-exported. Secure, covered bonded storage with full inventory visibility, backed by in-house customs clearance to move cargo in and out of bond.

Bonded Warehousing

Keep duty and VAT deferred until your cargo moves

Cargo entering our customs-bonded warehouses is held under the direct supervision of Saudi Customs (ZATCA), which means import duty and VAT are suspended for as long as the goods remain in bond. That frees up working capital you would otherwise commit at the point of import, and gives you the flexibility to decide later whether the cargo is sold locally or re-exported.

The bonded facility sits alongside BAFCO's own terminals, transport fleet and in-house customs team, so cargo can move in and out of bond, through clearance and onward to the buyer without changing hands between providers. You keep full visibility of stock while it's under bond, and control over exactly when duty becomes payable.
