April 2023 — Question 76

Why this answer

Section 146.64 controls entries for warehouse made from a foreign trade zone. It bars merchandise in privileged foreign status, or containing any privileged foreign components, from being entered for warehouse, which eliminates options A and B regardless of timing. It also forbids placing or keeping merchandise in a bonded warehouse more than five years after the date of importation, so nonprivileged foreign goods imported six years ago fail, defeating option D, while the same goods imported three years ago satisfy both conditions, keying option C. Activated status in option E describes an approved zone site, not a merchandise status. Watch for: Overlooking that privileged foreign merchandise can never be entered for warehouse from a zone.
