Bonded warehouse software for free zones
Bonded warehouse software that reconciles your stock with customs every morning
Free-zone companies are expected to keep an inventory that customs can audit: every bill of entry matched to what left, every difference explained. CargoSurge keeps each pallet tied to its bill of entry from receipt to exit, checks the customs ledger against the shelf every day, and tells you about a difference before an auditor does.
Built for JAFZA, DAFZA, KEZAD, SAIF, Hamriyah, RAK, Dubai South and Saudi bonded zones
Inventory › Bonded by entry: what each bill of entry still holds, the duty and VAT suspended on it, and this morning’s reconciliation. Demo company; client names are invented.
Free-zone inventory reconciliation
Seven checks, every morning, on every bonded warehouse
Nobody has to remember to run it. A difference opens a task for your team and closes itself once it is fixed.
Every exit traces to its entry
Each shipment out is matched to the bill of entry line of the same client and warehouse, and no line is ever drawn below zero.
Quantity, weight and value move together
A line can never end with cartons gone and CIF value left behind, or the other way round.
The customs ledger matches the shelf
What customs believes you hold is compared with what is in the bins, lot by lot.
Nothing leaves without its declaration
Every exit that has left the warehouse must carry its exit declaration number.
Opening + in − out = closing, by HS code
The movement statement customs and free-zone auditors ask for, on quantity and on value.
Ageing against each zone’s time limit
Each free zone carries its own rule, so goods near their limit are flagged before they are overdue.
Every stock-count difference is accounted for
A cycle-count difference on bonded stock is recorded against its bill of entry line, with the reason and, if you want, a manager’s approval.
Bonded warehouse stock control
One ledger per bill of entry, ready for an inspection
Open any bill of entry and see every line: what came in, every exit and its declaration, every adjustment, and the balance after each one.
- Receipts cannot complete without the bill of entry
- Exits take the oldest entry first; any other order needs a reason and approval
- Goods not yet released by customs cannot be picked
- Consumption inside the zone and destruction under supervision, with their declarations
Free-zone audit, ready on request
The movement statement your free zone asks for
By HS code, for any period: opening balance, goods in, goods out, adjustments, closing balance, on quantity and on value. Ageing against each zone’s time limit, and the duty and VAT still suspended, line by line. Quantities stay in each bill of entry’s own unit; values are never added across currencies.
Linked to the customs job
The warehouse and the customs team work from the same bill of entry, with deadlines and warnings on the customs board.
Customs clearance softwareBilled with the rest of your 3PL work
Storage, handling and value-added services on bonded stock are billed from the same rate cards as every other client.
Warehouse management systemYour zone rules, your way
Each free zone states its authority and time limit in your own master data. A zone that is not under customs control, such as a financial free zone, is never treated as bonded.
Questions about free-zone stock
What is free-zone inventory reconciliation?
Comparing what customs records you hold under each bill of entry with what is physically in the warehouse, and explaining every difference. CargoSurge does this automatically every morning.
How long can goods stay in a UAE free zone?
Under the GCC Common Customs Law a free zone itself has no time limit, while a customs warehouse holds goods for one year, extendable. Each zone’s rule is set in your master data, and the ageing report flags goods approaching it.
Can I run bonded and ordinary stock in one system?
Yes. Customs control is switched on per warehouse. Ordinary warehouses keep working exactly as before.
Does it work outside the UAE?
Yes. Saudi bonded and re-export zones and Omani free zones are set up the same way, each with its own authority and limits.
Does CargoSurge file the bill of entry with customs?
No. Your team or your broker files on the customs portal as today. CargoSurge records the bill of entry against the receipt, keeps the ledger per entry line, and prepares the statements customs asks for.
CargoSurge is not affiliated with or endorsed by any customs authority or free-zone operator. Declarations are filed by your team or your broker on the authority’s own portal.
