Bonded Warehouse

A customs or bonded warehouse is an authorised facility for storing non-Union goods under customs supervision. While the relevant storage procedure applies, import duty and related charges are not due in the same way as on release for EU circulation.[1]

Do not treat it as an ordinary warehouse with a tax discount. Track customs status and permitted operations separately. Release for EU consumption or movement into another procedure requires the corresponding formalities. Deferred charging is not a general tax exemption.
