HMRC Excise Approved Bonded Warehouse in London

Purland House Ltd (PHL) operates a fully HMRC Excise-Approved bonded warehouse in London, strategically located at the centre of global freight transportation routes. We enable businesses to store excise goods—such as wine, beer, and spirits—under duty suspension without immediate payment of duty or VAT.

This structure allows global manufacturers, exporters, importers, wholesalers, and distributors to manage cash flow more efficiently while maintaining full regulatory compliance. In addition to alcohol and beverages, our bonded and associated logistics services also support agro-products, machinery, engineering tools, furniture, and general cargo—making PHL a practical choice for diverse international trade requirements.

With over a decade of experience in UK excise and customs-controlled logistics, PHL combines secure bonded storage, compliant handling, customs support, and cost-effective multi-modal freight forwarding, helping businesses manage both storage and movement challenges under one roof.

What is Excise Warehousing & Why It Matters?

Excise warehousing allows businesses to place goods in an HMRC-approved facility where duties are deferred until products are released into the UK market. For companies trading internationally, this offers greater financial control and operational flexibility.

Key Benefits of Excise Warehousing

• Duty and VAT payments deferred until point of sale
• Improved liquidity and working capital management
• Fully traceable stock under HMRC supervision
• Secure, compliant handling of high-value goods
• Ideal for importers, bonded stockists, brand owners, and wholesalers

PHL ensures that every stage—from receipt of goods to storage, movement, and dispatch—is carried out in strict accordance with UK excise regulations, giving clients clarity and confidence at every step.

Specialists in Wet Bonded Warehousing & Alcohol Logistics

PHL specialises in wet bonded warehousing for beer, wine, and spirits, supported by infrastructure designed for compliance and efficiency.

• HMRC-compliant bonded storage
