Bonded Storage Expertise

Our bonded warehousing solutions give you the flexibility to store goods under customs bond for up to five years without paying duties upfront. This allows you to manage inventory strategically while staying fully compliant with U.S. Customs regulations.

Duty Deferral & Cost Savings

By deferring duties until goods are released into U.S. commerce — or eliminating them altogether if re-exported — you can significantly improve cash flow. Swarm Customs helps you take advantage of these programs to reduce costs and optimize your supply chain.

FTZ Operations

Foreign Trade Zones provide unique benefits, including the ability to store, repackage, assemble, or even manufacture goods under customs supervision. Our team manages the details so you can maximize FTZ advantages without added complexity.

Customs Supervision Made Easy

Operating in bonded or FTZ environments means strict oversight, but with Swarm Customs, compliance is built into every step. We handle the rules, paperwork, and supervision so you can focus on running your business.

Seamless Transfers

Whether moving cargo between bonded warehouses or FTZ facilities, we manage transfers securely and in full compliance with customs regulations. Our streamlined process ensures your goods remain protected and your supply chain uninterrupted.

Integrated Logistics

Bonded and FTZ handling with Swarm Customs doesn’t end at storage. With the full strength of Swarm Transport’s logistics network, you also get brokerage, transportation, and last-mile delivery under one roof for a truly end-to-end solution.

ISF Filing & Entry Documentation

When it comes to U.S. imports, timing is everything. Missing or inaccurate filings can result in hefty fines, shipment delays, or even cargo holds. That’s why proper ISF (Importer Security Filing) and entry documentation is a critical step in every successful shipment.

End-to-End Logistics Integration

Customs clearance is only one part of the supply chain — without reliable transport, warehousing, and last-mile delivery, your goods risk delays and added costs. That’s why Swarm Customs goes beyond brokerage, offering integrated solutions backed by the full strength of Swarm Transport.
