Customs Bonded Warehouse Operators Across US Ports

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authorizes bonded warehouses under 19 USC §1555, allowing importers to store dutiable merchandise for up to five years without paying duties upfront. These facilities are critical infrastructure for international trade, enabling duty deferral, re-export without payment, and consolidation of shipments under customs supervision.

Warehouse Bond Classes

CBP recognizes 11 classes of bonded warehouses, each serving a distinct function in the import supply chain:

ClassTypePurpose
1Government-ownedStorage of unclaimed or seized goods
2Private bondedImporter stores own merchandise exclusively
3Public bondedOpen to any importer for general storage
4Bonded yardHeavy/bulk goods (lumber, vehicles)
5Bonded binGrain and bulk commodities
7Smelting/refiningProcessing of imported ores and metals

Major Port Concentrations

Bonded warehouse density correlates directly with port throughput. The largest clusters operate near:

Los Angeles / Long Beach
The busiest container port complex in the Western Hemisphere handles over 20 million TEUs annually. Operators like Imperial CFS (300,000 sq ft on 17.5 acres), Universal Warehouse Co., and STG Logistics maintain extensive bonded facilities within drayage range.
New York / New Jersey
The East Coast gateway processes roughly one-third of all East Coast containerized cargo. Van Brunt Logistics, East Coast Warehouse, and Inter-Metro Freight are established bonded operators in the port district.
Houston / Galveston
The largest US port by total tonnage, Houston supports petrochemical, agricultural, and general cargo imports. Consolidated Bonded Warehouses has operated here for over 60 years.
Savannah
The fastest-growing container port in the US, with bonded operations expanding rapidly. East Coast Warehouse and Cargoways Savannah serve this gateway.
Charleston
A key Southeast port where East Coast Warehouse opened a new bonded facility in 2024 to meet growing demand.

Choosing a Bonded Warehouse Operator

When selecting a bonded warehouse near a US port, logistics managers should evaluate:

  • Proximity to port — drayage costs and transit time from the marine terminal
  • Bond class and CBP compliance history — Class 2 (private) vs. Class 3 (public) determines access
  • Value-added services — transloading, CFS operations, FTZ access, temperature control
  • Capacity and scalability — peak season surge handling
  • Technology integration — ACE/ABI connectivity, inventory visibility, electronic customs filing

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.How does ReqoData collect bonded warehouse operator information?

When you place a request, our AI crawls publicly available sources including CBP records, port authority directories, operator websites, and industry databases to compile current facility data. This is not a static database — data is gathered fresh for each request.

Q.Does the dataset include CBP bond status verification?

We collect publicly available bond class information as listed by operators and port authorities. However, for official bond status verification, you should confirm directly with CBP or the operator, as bond renewals and status changes may not be immediately reflected in public sources.

Q.Can I filter by specific port or region?

Yes. You can specify any US port of entry, CBP port code, or geographic region. The AI will scope its crawl to operators serving that specific gateway, including nearby inland bonded facilities within drayage range.

Q.Are Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) operators included?

FTZ-designated facilities that also hold bonded warehouse status are included. However, standalone FTZ operators without a bonded warehouse license are outside the scope of this dataset.
