Service level agreement for operations at the Miami facility
A bonded warehouse in Miami solves a specific problem: cargo that needs to be in the United States without being imported into the United States. Goods stored under bond remain under customs control, US duties are deferred while they sit, and if the cargo leaves the country for its final market, those duties are not paid at all.
For technology companies shipping into Latin America, that combination is the point. Miami is the natural consolidation hub for the region, and Aerodoc’s own facility there works as the staging ground where hardware is received, verified, consolidated and dispatched to its destination country under a DDP + Importer of Record scope.
What a Bonded Warehouse in Miami Solves
01
Cargo in transit through the US
Hardware arriving from Asia or Europe can wait in bond for its final leg, without entering US commerce and without paying US duties. Hardware bought in the US joins the same Miami consolidation for export.
02
Duties deferred until the cargo moves
US duties are due only if the cargo enters the US market; goods dispatched abroad leave the bond without paying US duties and pay import duties at destination. Cash is not tied up in duties while the project timeline settles.
03
Consolidation before dispatch
Shipments from several vendors are received, verified and consolidated into one controlled dispatch per destination country, with one set of documents.

From Miami to Latin America Under One Scope
Bonded storage is the middle of the journey, not the end. From the Miami facility, Aerodoc runs the full export and import chain: the cargo leaves the bond, ships to the destination country, clears customs with Aerodoc acting as Importer of Record, and reaches the final site. One partner, one set of responsibilities, one documented operation. That is why Miami works as the key logistics hub for Latin America and the Caribbean.
The model fits high-value, serialized technology: data center and AI hardware such as GPUs, networking and telecom equipment, satellite gear and professional AV. Inventory is verified at receiving, tracked by serial number and released only against authorized orders, with the same management layer that runs across our warehousing and fulfillment solutions.
When a Bonded Warehouse Is the Right Tool
Bonded warehouse
Goods stay under customs control with duties deferred. The right tool for cargo in transit and for timing duty payment to the project.
Non-bonded warehouse
Goods are already imported, duties paid, free to move domestically. Simpler when the cargo’s market is the US itself.
Free trade zone
A designated zone with its own regime, suited to manufacturing and re-export programs. Different rules and oversight than a bonded facility.
The full comparisons are in our guides to bonded vs non-bonded warehousing and free trade zones vs bonded warehouses.
F.A.Q.
What is a bonded warehouse?
A bonded warehouse is a secured facility where imported goods are stored under customs control with duties and taxes deferred. If the goods are re-exported, US duties are not paid; if they enter the US market, duties are paid when they leave the bond. Aerodoc operates its own bonded facility in Miami.
Does Aerodoc operate its own bonded warehouse in Miami?
Yes. The Miami facility is Aerodoc’s own warehouse, bonded and C-TPAT certified, with TSA authorization for air cargo and a 24-hour service level agreement. It is the base of Aerodoc’s warehousing operation.
How long can cargo stay in the bonded warehouse?
Under US customs rules, goods can generally remain in bonded status for up to five years; each operation is quoted with its own timeline. The practical benefit is flexibility: the cargo waits under customs control while the destination, documentation or project schedule is finalized.
Is bonded storage offered as a standalone service?
No. Bonded storage in Miami is part of an integrated scope with DDP and Importer of Record services, so the same operation that holds the cargo also exports it, imports it at destination and delivers it.
