Warehousing Services
Transit Warehousing
Temporary storage between cargo arrival and final delivery. After customs clearance at Durban Port, your goods can be stored securely until you're ready for delivery.
Bonded Warehousing
SARS-supervised storage for imported goods before customs duty is paid. This allows you to defer duty payments, consolidate shipments, or re-export without incurring local duties. Learn about bonded warehouses →
Short-Term Storage
Flexible storage from days to weeks — ideal for:
- Consolidation of multiple shipments before delivery
- Staging for distribution across South Africa
- Overflow storage during peak demand periods
Long-Term Storage
Monthly storage agreements for ongoing inventory needs. Suitable for businesses maintaining buffer stock of imported goods.
