Which form is Application for appointment of a building to be used as a bonded warehouse?

• A. Form C20
• B. Form C21
• C. Form C22
• D. Form C16

Answer: (A)

To get a building recognized as a bonded warehouse, you must submit a formal request specifically to appoint that building under customs control. This is done with Form C20. That form is designed to capture all the details needed to evaluate whether the site meets the requirements for storing goods under bond—location, security arrangements, storage capacity, and the responsible operator. Once customs reviews and approves the appointment, the building becomes a bonded warehouse, allowing imported goods to be stored without payment of duties until they’re released or moved under the proper procedures.

The other forms are used for related but different steps in the bonded warehouse process, not for initiating the appointment of the building itself.
