Frequent Asked Questions
1- What is a bonded terminal ?
Think of it as a secure holding area for imports, run under customs rules. You can store goods here before paying import taxes. While they’re “in bond,” customs supervises the cargo. Get everything ready—inspect, sort, relabel, combine shipments—then either pay duties and release for local delivery or ship out for re‑export (usually without local duties).
2- Can we process or inspect goods while they’re in bond?
Yes. We can arrange inspections and basic quality checks, handle relabeling or repacking, and combine split shipments—all inside a customs‑controlled area. That way your cargo leaves the terminal market‑ready, and you only pay duties when you actually need the stock.3- Are bonded terminals only at seaports?
No. Many are close to seaports and airports, but inland dry ports and container depots can be bonded too. ASF Bonded Terminals is in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, serving both coastal and inland routes.
4- When do I pay duties and taxes?
When the goods leave bond for use in Nigeria. If you re‑export, local import duties typically don’t apply. In short: you pay later, when the timing suits your sales and cash flow.
5- Who benefits most?
Importers who want to protect cash flow or need time for checks and paperwork— It’s also ideal when you need to move containers off the
port quickly and finish the prep afterward.
6- How long can cargo stay in bond?
Storage is flexible within regulatory limits. Many clients use bond to bridge production schedules, complete documentation, or wait for market release windows. We’ll advise on timelines so you stay compliant and avoid extra costs.
