FAQ

FAQ – Warehousing & Storage Hamburg

Do you offer bonded warehouse storage in Hamburg?
Yes. As a licensed warehouse keeper we operate a bonded warehouse (Type C) at Hamburg Port. Non-EU goods can be stored under customs suspension until they are cleared for import or re-exported – with no immediate customs duty payment.
What is cross-docking and who is it suitable for?
Cross-docking means incoming containers are unloaded and immediately transferred to outgoing trucks or trains – without intermediate storage. This saves warehousing costs and accelerates cargo flow. Ideal for time-critical distribution or consolidation of multiple suppliers.
Can I view my stock levels in real time as a customer?
Yes. Our WMS customer portal gives you 24/7 access to your current stock, all goods movements and reports. For new customers we set up portal access within 24 hours of contract signature.
Which container sizes can you store?
Our container depot accommodates all standard sizes: 20' standard, 40' standard, 40' high-cube and 45' pallet wide. Both empty and loaded containers are welcome. Reefer containers can be connected to power on request.
