Abstract. Bonded warehouses are the most important infrastructure link in the distribution systems of the leading countries in international trade. The largest transnational companies of such States, having a piece number of bond structures, provide huge supplies of their products to the domestic and international markets. The purpose of the study was to justify the need
to develop bonded warehouses and bonded zones in Russia in order to create infrastructure conditions for the development of production and trade in agricultural products. Research methods included observations, groupings, comparisons, and statistical evaluations. According to the results of the study, it was determined that bond structures in Russia are regulated by legal documents applicable to temporary storage warehouses, adopted within the framework of the common economic space of the member States of the Eurasian economic Union. The procedure for temporary storage in bonded warehouses allows avoiding tax and other duties, obtaining licenses, permits, etc., entering products into the customs regime and filing a Declaration during the storage period. In addition, bonded warehouses provide users of their services with economic benefits due to lower prices for services, comprehensive maintenance, and faster product movement. The analysis showed that in Russia, bonded warehouses and zones have a low level of development: their number and capacity are insufficient, and the services offered are limited to transport, warehouse, and customs. At the same time, warehouse activity in Russia is highly profitable: the profitability of assets is 2.3 times higher than the indicator for the economy as a whole. For further development of bonded warehouses in Russia, it is recommended to increase their capacity in the regions that are key in the production and trade of agricultural products, expand the services provided, and integrate with agricultural producers. The scientific novelty of the work consists in substantiating the theoretical foundations of the role and necessary characteristics of bonded warehouses as an infrastructure basis for the development of trade in agricultural goods in Russia.
