CFS Hartsfield Warehouse, with 500,000 square feet of warehousing space spread over our three locations, provides a complete range of CFS services to all consolidators, freight forwarders and NVOCCs. Ocean import containers are stripped out and segregated by house bill, cleared through Customs at our facility, and then can be shipped to the consignee on our fleet of trucks providing an integrated and efficient supply chain solution.

This service allows our customers to store goods for up to five years in the bonded warehouse section of our warehouse, deferring the payment of duties until the cargo is entered for consumption. This provides a cash flow advantage for those customers waiting to sell their product. Cargo stored in a bonded warehouse can also be manipulated and repacked prior to release and shipment to the final destination. Another benefit of bonded warehouse storage is that cargo can be re-exported out of the U.S. and no duty will have to be paid.

Our CES staff is fully trained to our CES operations. We handle over 350 CES transactions a year. We have a dedicated Customs and Border Protection office on site and we are staffed daily with our own Inspector. This allows us to efficiently prepare the cargo for Customs and get quick turnaround times on exams. Value added services such as dedicated reefer hookups, heavy lift capabilities, onsite work areas for consignees and online tracking capability that allows our customers to view exam updates and results online make HWC the choice for CES.
