HMRC Approved Bonded Warehousing


Storing ‘under bond’ at our bonded warehouses can considerably improve cash flow for businesses importing goods from outside the UK. Our customs bonded warehouse operations have direct links to HMRC with our state-of-the-art warehouse management system supporting them, which provide full stock visibility, including goods under bond and in free circulation.

At W.H. Bowker, we have over 1.5 million ft² of warehousing throughout the UK. Services include bonded warehousing, fulfilment services, e-commerce logistics, sampling and added value services.
