Leverage Our Strategic Locations & Unmatched Capacity For Immediate Success
18 Wheels Warehousing & Trucking offers the largest amount of bonded and sufferance warehousing space in Metro Vancouver.
Our two primary locations for bonded warehouses are:
- 8335 Meadow Ave #100, Burnaby, BC V3N 2W1
- 7185 11th Ave, Burnaby, BC V3N 0J7
We utilize these warehouses to benefit firms importing goods into Canada for storage or expediting the movement of goods in and out of the North American marketplace.
Combined, these two facilities offer tens of thousands of bonded warehouse spaces. The best part about these locations is that they are within 30 minutes of any of the four major ports - FSD, Centerm, Vanterm, and Delta Port.
Both storage facilities also possess bonded yards and secure yards with 24/7 security.
Understanding Your Options: Bonded vs. Sufferance Warehouses
While both bonded and sufferance warehouses serve critical roles in international trade, they fulfill unique purposes depending on your specific logistical needs.
Sufferance Warehouse Services for Short-Term Customs Control
Our sufferance warehouse is fully licensed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for the control, short-term storage, transfer, delivery, and examination of in-bond goods.
- Purpose: Ideal for goods awaiting CBSA release or those destined for export from Canada.
- Duration: Your goods may stay in our sufferance warehouses for up to 40 days.
- Benefit: Provides a secure, compliant environment for customs examinations without delaying your overall supply chain.
Customs Bonded Warehouse Services for Long-Term Storage & Duty Deferral
In contrast to sufferance warehouses, our customs bonded warehouses offer long-term flexibility and significant financial advantages.
- Purpose: Designed for imported and domestic goods held on a consignment basis, serving as inventory, or awaiting export.
- Duration: Store your goods for up to four years.
- Benefit: Enjoy a complete deferral of all duties (including GST) while the goods remain in the warehouse. Duties are only payable on the portion of the products that enter the Canadian economy, dramatically improving your cash flow.
Our Bonded Warehouse Offers Value-Added Services
While your products are securely stored in our bonded facility, we can perform value-added alterations to prepare them for the next leg of distribution, including:
- Labeling and Marking
- Packaging and Repackaging
- Testing and Separating of Defective Products
- Diluting, Cutting, Slitting, Trimming, and Filing
- Disassembling or Reassembling of goods that have been disassembled for packing, handling, or transportation.
