Duty-Suspension Warehousing

Maximise Cash Flow. Minimise Delays.

Our bonded facility allows you to store imported goods without the immediate obligation to pay import duties or VAT. This means you can defer tax payments until your goods are released into the domestic market—giving you greater control over working capital, reducing upfront costs, and allowing for more agile inventory decisions.

 

This system is particularly beneficial for importers with phased distribution plans, seasonal products, or goods requiring compliance clearance before local sale. Aisle 8 ensures full transparency and alignment with BURS (Botswana Unified Revenue Service) requirements, so your customs timelines are predictable and manageable.

Compliance and Security You Can Trust

Aisle 8 is a fully licensed bonded warehouse registered with BURS, designed to meet the highest standards of customs compliance and physical security. Our warehouse is equipped with 24/7 surveillance, controlled access zones, and audit-ready documentation practices to ensure every item is accounted for and stored in accordance with regulatory expectations.

 

Whether you’re storing high-value goods or sensitive FMCG products, our secure facility protects your assets and supports seamless customs audits and inspections.

Temperature-Controlled Facilities

Product Integrity from Arrival to Release

We understand that different FMCG products require different storage conditions. That’s why Aisle 8 offers purpose-built zones for ambient, chilled, and frozen storage:

 

Ambient Storage: Dry, temperature-stable spaces for shelf-stable products such as dry groceries, packaged foods, household goods, and personal care items.

Chilled Storage: Refrigerated environments for dairy, juices, and other perishables that require cool storage above freezing.

Frozen Storage: Deep-freeze storage for meats, frozen meals, and other goods that require long-term preservation at sub-zero temperatures.

All temperature-controlled zones are supported by backup power systems, digital monitoring, and routine maintenance to ensure consistent climate control—preserving your product quality and reducing spoilage risk.

With Aisle 8’s inventory management systems, you’ll have real-time access to your stock levels, batch information, and movement history. We utilise barcode scanning and digital tracking tools to ensure full traceability and faster stock reconciliation.

 

Whether you’re handling large volumes or managing multiple SKUs, our system helps reduce shrinkage, improve stock rotation (FIFO/LIFO), and enhance order accuracy—giving you the control needed to scale confidently.
