Hold imported stock with duty + import VAT suspended — pay nothing at the border until your goods sell.
Goods imported from anywhere in the world enter your customs warehouse under duty suspension: the customs duty and the import VAT are held, not paid. You draw stock down — and only then pay — as it sells into UK home use. Re-exports discharge the liability with no payment at all. BondOS models the released cashflow, watches your guarantee headroom, and keeps the legal stock record that makes the authorisation real.
Model the suspension. Keep the stock record.
Enter what you're bringing in and how it's held. BondOS returns the duty + import VAT it defers at the border, the working capital that frees up while stock sits, your guarantee utilisation, and — the moment you draw stock down — whether cash is due (home use) or the liability simply discharges (re-export). Indicative modelling; the authorised warehousekeeper stays accountable for the declared record.
