Lineage’s Garfield facility in the Port of Seattle recently received approval as a Class 3 public bonded storage facility.
This is Lineage’s first customs-bonded facility in the state of Washington and one of the first refrigerated storage facilities with customs-bonded space in the Seattle market, the company reported.
With this new certification, the site is now better equipped to help customers navigate the complexities of international logistics, enabling greater precision, flexibility, and ease by providing safe temperature-controlled storage of imported goods under U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) supervision until they are cleared for domestic commerce or re-export. These services provide a crucial gateway for temperature-sensitive imports arriving via the Port of Seattle.
Located at 2001 W Garfield Street on Pier 90, Lineage’s Garfield facility offers cold storage, drayage, temperature-controlled rail, and on-demand trucking. The new customs-bonded warehousing service complements the site’s existing USDA and FDA inspections, drayage, and intermodal services, strengthening Lineage’s ability to help make the import process easier and more streamlined for customers.
“Our certified customs-bonded warehouse space in Seattle marks an exciting milestone for Lineage, reflecting our commitment to anticipate and meet customer needs in a dynamic global trade environment,” Brian Beattie, Lineage North America West president, said in a news release. “By expanding our import service capabilities in a critical hub for global trade, we aim to offer our customers greater flexibility to respond to shifting market conditions while maintaining compliance and protecting product integrity.”
