Turn your import taxes into a variable cost: we place your cargo into In-Bond customs storage with tax suspension so you can clear inventory in batches as your business sells or manufactures.

Release your containers from port immediately, suspend duty and VAT payments for up to 1 year, and clear inventory partially as you sell.

The In-Bond Customs Warehousing Regime is the most efficient financial and logistical tool under the Venezuelan Organic Customs Law for volume importers. Instead of tying up working capital by paying all import taxes upon vessel arrival, Full Cargo processes the immediate transfer of your goods into an authorized General In-Bond Warehouse. This allows you to empty and return containers to the shipping line right away (eliminating demurrage and port storage fees), keep your inventory safely stored for up to one (1) year with duty and VAT suspension, and execute partial clearances or re-exports matched to your actual cash flow.

Common Market Risk
What risk do we prevent in your operation?
Paying 100% of import duties and VAT on multiple containers the day they arrive drains your company's working capital, while delaying port pickup triggers daily USD container demurrage charges.
Full Cargo Express Solution
How we protect your investment and timelines
Move your cargo into a General In-Bond Warehouse upon port arrival: return the empty container with zero demurrage and pay duties only on the pallets or batches you withdraw each month.

Frequently asked questions about this service
Can I clear only part of the merchandise and leave the rest in the In-Bond warehouse?+
Yes. That is the core financial advantage of the In-Bond Regime: you can execute multiple partial clearances throughout the one-year term, paying taxes only on the units withdrawn in each operation.
