When most people hear “bonded warehouse,” they think of alcohol, customs, or international trade. But in reality, bonded warehouses offer something far more valuable to local businesses: security, compliance, and peace of mind.
At United Supplies Document Storage, our bonded status isn’t just a technicality, it’s a key part of how we protect your records and support your operations.
What Is a Bonded Warehouse?
A bonded warehouse is a secure facility authorised by HMRC to store goods under strict regulatory oversight. Traditionally used for imported goods awaiting customs clearance, bonded warehouses must meet high standards for:
- Access control and surveillance
- Inventory tracking and audit readiness
- Secure handling of sensitive or high-value materials
In short, it’s a space designed for trust.
Why It Matters for Document Storage
While we’re not storing duty-suspended goods, our bonded status means your files are held in a facility that’s:
- Monitored and access-controlled
- Compliant with regulatory standards
- Built for long-term, secure storage
This is especially important for businesses handling legal, financial, or healthcare records, where data protection and audit readiness are non-negotiable.

Unlike remote storage providers, we’re based right here in the city centre.
That means:
