French term or phrase: mise sous douane
Hi

This is a service provided by the logistics dept of an interior design firm for international customers:

"mise sous douane, dédouanement et livraison sur site"

I've searched Incoterms but aren't confident about the term I found ("in bond").

Thanks in advance for your help.

agree  Wolf Draeger: I think "bond warehousing" or "bonded facilities" is more common in English // right, the FR focuses on the process, while the EN focuses on the means. Bonding is not wrong, it's just uncommon.

  -> Perhaps, but we have "mise sous douane", how do you construct it with "warehouse" or "facilities"?
