With tariffs and trade regulations evolving quickly in 2025, businesses are under pressure to find cost-effective, flexible solutions for storing and moving imported goods. That’s where Bridgetown comes in – with customs bonded warehousing and in-house transportation services designed to help you stay agile, compliant, and efficient.
Why Customs Bonded Warehousing Matters in 2025
When you import goods into the U.S., you’re typically required to pay duties and taxes immediately. But with customs bonded warehousing, you can delay those payments until your goods are officially released for sale. That delay can free up valuable cash flow and help you better manage your inventory and import strategy—especially useful in a shifting tariff landscape.
Bridgetown’s bonded facilities are fully approved by U.S. Customs and offer secure storage for your goods while they await clearance. Whether you’re importing in bulk or bringing in goods that require inspection, our facilities keep your operations running smoothly – and help you avoid costly delays.

Both facilities meet strict U.S. Customs and TSA standards, and are equipped with:
