What a bonded warehouse is and who needs it

The term

SVX stands for the Russian "sklad vremennogo khraneniya", a temporary storage warehouse licensed by customs. Goods wait here under control until clearance is complete. A plain warehouse without the licence cannot be one.

Who needs it

• Importers whose declaration is not filed or is being checked.
• Exporters collecting documents before dispatch.
• Forwarders and brokers deciding where a client's cargo waits.

Versus a terminal

A bonded warehouse is one terminal type with a customs licence. A container terminal or freight yard loads and unloads but may not store under customs control. The catalog shows it as a separate type (Bonded warehouses filter) and as a service with its own tariff line.

Price and search

Usually a daily rate, sometimes per ton or wagon. Tariffs are open in the catalog; use the Bonded warehouses filter or the bonded warehouse marker on the map.
