Warehouse entry is the official customs documentation used when imported goods are placed into a bonded warehouse without immediate payment of duties, allowing them to be stored under U.S. Customs supervision.
Warehouse entry allows businesses to delay duty payments by storing imported goods in a bonded warehouse. These goods remain under customs control until they are withdrawn for consumption, exportation, or another approved use. This gives importers flexibility in managing costs and inventory.
Warehouse entry is filed when your imported goods arrive but aren't yet ready to enter the domestic market. This allows you to store them in a bonded warehouse and delay paying import duties. For your business, it’s a smart way to control inventory, manage costs, and maintain regulatory compliance.
When you're ready to sell, ship, or export, you can withdraw the goods and pay duties only if required. It’s a cost-effective option that 3PLs can manage on your behalf.

Warehouse entry is important because it allows businesses to defer duty payments, manage large shipments more efficiently, and control cash flow. It also provides time to sort, repackage, or prepare goods before they enter the domestic market or get exported. In 3PL logistics, this helps streamline fulfillment while staying compliant with customs regulations.
For example, a top 3PL provider may receive imported electronics into a bonded warehouse under warehouse entry status. The goods are safely stored without duties until sold or exported, allowing the client to manage stock levels and reduce upfront costs.
