Excise Warehouse Journey
Goods arrive in the UK
- Shipping documents come in by API, spreadsheet, scan or manual upload.
- iWarehouse automatically generates your customs declaration using AI.
Choose Your Customs Route
- Place goods into customs warehousing with an entry declaration filed to CDS, or for alcohol, tobacco and oils, submit a W1 declaration to place them into excise warehousing under duty suspension.
- Once under excise duty suspension, manage those movements through EMCS.
Store Goods Under Duty Suspension
- Goods are securely stored in customs or excise warehousing.
- Track stock, warehouse movements and compliance in real time from one platform.
Manage Warehouse Operations
- Control inventory, monitor movements and release goods whenever you’re ready.
- Everything stays connected with complete visibility and audit trails.
Release Goods
- When goods leave customs warehousing, iWarehouse automatically files the CDS discharge declaration. For excise goods, it creates the W5 declaration instead. Either way, duty is calculated and the release is processed automatically.
Stay Compliant
- Submit one monthly declaration, maintain complete audit trails and stay compliant with HMRC requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bonded warehouse?
A bonded warehouse is a secure facility where imported goods can be stored without paying duty upfront. Duty is only paid once the goods are released for sale or use in the UK.
What's the difference between a customs warehouse, a bonded warehouse, and an excise warehouse?
Bonded warehouse” is really the umbrella term, and it covers two distinct HMRC authorisations. A customs warehouse suspends customs duty and import VAT on goods that haven’t yet entered free circulation. An excise warehouse specifically suspends excise duty on goods like alcohol, tobacco, and oils. iWarehouse is a management platform: deferring duty and VAT (and excise duty, where relevant) on your imported stock until you choose to release it.
Can I use iWarehouse for both customs warehousing and excise warehousing?
Yes. iWarehouse manages both duty-suspended and excise-suspended stock from the same platform, so you’re not running separate systems for separate warehouse types.
Can I choose whether to pay duty immediately or defer it?
Yes, iWarehouse gives you the flexibility to pay duty as soon as goods arrive in the UK, or place them into bonded storage and defer payment until release.
What support do you offer?
