The application for a permit from Swedish Customs to operate a temporary bonded warehouse.

A temporary warehouse is a storage location for the short-term storage of goods that have not cleared customs. In a temporary warehouse, you store uncleared goods while waiting for them to be registered for an approved customs process, such as import. A temporary bonded warehouse is most often adjacent to a port or airport. The goods may be stored in the warehouse for a maximum of 45 days if they arrive by sea directly from a country outside the EU. For goods that arrive in another manner, the storage time is a maximum of 20 days. Anyone can request to store their goods in a temporary warehouse.

Requirements
To obtain a permit to operate a temporary warehouse, you must meet the following requirements, among others:

• you must be responsible for ensuring that the goods are not removed from the warehouse
• you must have stock accounting that will be approved by Swedish Customs in advance
• you may potentially need to pledge collateral depending on your company's credit rating.

Swedish Customs issues the permit and is the supervisory authority.

The application shall be sent to Swedish Customs.
