Warehousing Unboxed - Season 4 Ep. 3 - De-mystifying FTZs, CFS, & Bonded Warehousing: How to Tap the Opportunity for Business Development and Increased Revenue
Value-added services can be a powerful way for third-party logistics (3PL) providers to differentiate themselves, attract new customers, and increase revenue—but understanding where to start can be a challenge.
In this episode of Warehousing Unboxed, host J.C. Capron is joined by two IWLA members and industry experts: Thomas Cook, CEO and Managing Director of Blue Tiger International, and Brien Downie, CEO of Holman Logistics.
Tom begins by breaking down the fundamentals of Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs)—what they are, how they work, and the strategic advantages they can provide to warehouse operators and their customers. Brien then shares his organization's real-world experience implementing an FTZ, discussing the decision-making process, lessons learned, implementation challenges, and the impact the program has had on Holman Logistics.
The conversation also takes a deeper dive into three valuable service offerings for today's 3PL providers: Bonded Warehousing, Foreign Trade Zones, and Container Freight Stations (CFS). Listeners will learn the purpose of each program, implementation considerations, associated costs, and how to determine which option best fits their business strategy.
Whether you're exploring new revenue opportunities or looking to expand your service offerings, this episode provides practical insights and actionable guidance to help your warehouse operation remain competitive in today's evolving supply chain landscape.
