Warehousing & Delivery
EMA offers both bonded and non-bonded warehousing solutions to facilitate smoother customs clearance, storage and distribution. As an optional value-added service, our warehousing solutions provide customers with a convenient one-stop logistics solution, enabling seamless delivery directly from our designated warehouses while eliminating the operational complexities of coordinating storage, tracking and final delivery. For greater efficiency and continuity, the same dedicated team managing the shipment from origin remains responsible for coordinating the warehousing and delivery process, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
Where Warehousing & Delivery Applies
- Bonded warehousing for goods pending customs clearance or re-export
- General storage and inventory management for ongoing stock
- Cross-docking for cargo that moves straight through without long-term storage
- Last-mile distribution from warehouse to final delivery point
What's Included
Bonded & General Storage
Warehouse space for goods pending customs clearance, re-export, or simply awaiting a client's own delivery schedule, with the paperwork to match depending on whether the stock is bonded or already cleared.
Inventory Management
Stock tracked in and out of the warehouse, so a client always knows what's on hand, what's been picked, and what's due to move next, without a manual count.
Distribution & Last-Mile Delivery
Cargo picked, packed, and delivered to its final destination from the warehouse, whether that's a single delivery run or an ongoing distribution schedule for repeat stock movements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bonded warehousing?
A bonded warehouse stores imported goods before duty has been paid, under customs supervision. It lets a shipper hold cargo, or re-export it, without paying duty upfront, and is commonly used for goods awaiting onward distribution or final clearance.
What is cross-docking?
Cross-docking moves cargo from an inbound shipment straight to an outbound one with little or no storage time in between. It suits cargo that's already sorted for its next destination and doesn't need to sit in a warehouse.
Can EMA Shipping handle ongoing distribution, not just one-off storage?
Yes. Warehousing is set up to support recurring stock movements, regular pick-and-pack runs, scheduled deliveries, and inventory reporting, not just a single storage booking.
