In China-US cross-border logistics, warehouse selection directly impacts cost, clearance efficiency and supply chain stability. This article focuses on three key warehouse types—bonded, customs-supervised and general warehouses—to help enterprises make informed choices.​ First, it clarifies core definitions: Bonded warehouses act as "tariff buffer zones" (no immediate tax for stored goods, duty-free for re-export to the US); customs-supervised warehouses are "clearance transit hubs" for goods with incomplete procedures; general warehouses are low-cost options for goods needing no special supervision.​ Next, it analyzes core functions: Bonded warehouses support transshipment/processing and reduce return costs; customs-supervised warehouses solve document issues and speed up inspection; general warehouses fit short-term turnover and domestic distribution in the US.​ A comparison table highlights advantages (e.g., bonded warehouses ease capital pressure, general warehouses have the lowest rent) and notes (e.g., 14-day storage limit for customs-supervised warehouses). Finally, it offers scenario-based tips (e.g., Chinese brands entering the US prioritize bonded warehouses) to optimize China-US logistics operations.
