Our Services

Fiscal Storage

It’s the storage of products of foreign origin in warehouses authorized by customs and it’s necessary that they comply with the terms and requirements established by law.

Stored cargo can be partially or fully removed to be imported when convenient.

This type of warehouse is a good option, when merchandise arrives in the country when importing and is not needed immediately.

By transferring the merchandise to this type of warehouse upon arrival of the cargo to the country, the importer is allowed to postpone import taxes and duties incurred at the moment of entry.

This figure allows these taxes to be paid only when it is decided to nationalize the merchandise, that is, at the time of customs clearance.

Additionally, this type of warehousing lets partial imports to be made. It is a great solution to streamline the cash flow of the importer by only paying import taxes as your operation demands it.

The fiscal warehouse can also be used to label merchandise and adapt it to regulations required by the authorities.

There are goods that can’t be kept in the fiscal warehouse, such as: Illicit, explosives, radioactive material, or contaminants, among others.

The merchandise has a period of one year to be used, after that term, it is considered abandoned and the customs administration will be able to do with it as is sees fit.

In this type of warehouse there is a 24-hour custody to guarantee safekeeping of the merchandise.

At SCL we work with fiscal warehouses in the main cities, ports and airports in the countries where we operate.

General Storage
