Secure FTZ Warehousing for High-Value Consumer Electronics

​

Client: Global Consumer Electronics Brand (Cameras & Accessories)
Service Area: FTZ Warehousing, Security Monitoring, Export Flexibility

Challenge:
The client needed a U.S.-based warehousing solution for high-value camera inventory. They required both secure, government-supervised storage and logistical agility to sell and distribute products within the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Prior experiences with missing inventory and inefficient re-export processes made them cautious.

Solution:
East-West CFS onboarded them at our FTZ warehouse, offering bonded storage with 24/7 surveillance, controlled access, and Customs-supervised inventory integrity. We also enabled split shipments for U.S. distribution and streamlined export documentation to neighboring countries.

Result:

• Zero inventory loss across 12+ months of operations

• Full compliance with Customs oversight and export controls

• Successfully launched tri-country distribution model (U.S., Canada, Mexico)

• Duty deferral enabled better working capital planning

Client Feedback:
“Storing $5,000+ cameras in any regular 3PL was risky — until East-West gave us a government-regulated environment with full traceability. We feel safe and agile.”
