Bonded Warehouses
Bonds to become a “Bonded Warehouse”
To become a bonded warehouse in Ireland, it is necessary to secure a bond or guarantee. A bonded warehouse is a structure or area which has been deemed secured to the Revenues stringent rules. The Revenue will only allow it to become a “bonded warehouse” when a Bond has been received and signed off on. They can be either a private or state-run facility.
With regards to a privately run facility, goods, which are considered dutiable by the Revenue may be warehoused and, or, have certain operations carried out on them prior to the duty payment or payment of VAT been handed over.

A Duty Deferment Bond
Usually, this is required by companies operating in industries such as the importation and exportation of goods and services. It is especially relevant to such companies who import or export from outside the EU trade bloc.
By arranging a duty deferment bond a company can defer their VAT and Duty liabilities to the Irish Revenue. Once the goods have been sold the company will then pass on the necessary VAT and Duty liabilities to the Revenue. The Bond is a guarantee to the Revenue that these liabilities will be paid by the relevant parties in the required time or they may call in the bond. Thus, the company gets to operate on a duty deferred basis and the Revenue has the legal assurances in place in case of default.
