Bonded Warehouse vs Free Trade Zone in Canada: The Ops Reality
Most importers moving cargo through Port of Montreal use a CBSA-authorized bonded warehouse like FENGYE's sufferance facility—goods are held duty-deferred until cleared or re-exported. Free trade zones are designated geographic areas at specific ports, designed for manufacturing, consolidation, and re-export, not standard inbound receiving. The operational difference is stark: bonded warehouse scales for volume and speed; FTZ is a tool for niche high-value operations.
