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)

When you’re applying to designate a building as a bonded warehouse, you use Form C20. This form is designed to start the process of designating a specific building for storing imported goods under customs control, with duties suspended until the goods are released for home use or re-export. Form C20 gathers the key details customs needs to assess eligibility: the building’s location and structure, ownership or control, security measures, access arrangements, and plans for maintaining proper records and bond compliance. The goal is to ensure the facility can securely hold goods under bond and that the operator can meet all customs requirements. Submitting this form initiates the licensing process with customs. If everything checks out—security, operations, and record-keeping—the building can be approved as a bonded warehouse. Other forms exist for different steps in trade and customs processes, such as declarations, licenses, or permits, but they do not serve the purpose of appointing a building as a bonded warehouse.
