Customs warehouses are specially designated areas, supervised by customs authorities, where goods can be stored until all necessary customs procedures are completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These warehouses are most commonly used under a temporary storage regime (TSD \u2013 \u201cwithout declaration\u201d), where goods have not yet been fully cleared by customs. In Lithuania, this activity is regulated by national and EU customs legislation, which stipulates that temporary storage can be applied until the completion of import, export, transit, or other customs formalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At UAB Gevara, our experienced and qualified team of customs brokers provides comprehensive support throughout the customs clearance process and ensures proper accounting for goods in temporary storage. Typically, the temporary storage period lasts up to 90 days, during which businesses can complete required procedures, organize documentation, or plan subsequent logistics operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as the need for more flexible goods management grows, longer storage periods are increasingly required. Long-term storage under the customs warehouse regime allows goods to be stored for the maximum period permitted by law \u2013 typically up to three years (1,095 days) from the date of entry into the warehouse. This ensures that clients can flexibly plan deliveries, wait for favorable market conditions, or secure the final buyer, while duties, excise, and VAT are only paid when goods are released for free circulation, as required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, UAB Gevara goes beyond traditional customs brokerage. We provide a full range of services, from declaration preparation, export and import documentation, transit procedures, and T1 declaration processing to CMR consignment note management. We can also integrate these services with logistics solutions and warehouse operations, ensuring smooth and centralized goods management. This means clients do not need to seek separate partners \u2013 all customs and logistics services are provided under one roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
