April 2023 — Question 78
Which class of bonded warehouse is known as a general order warehouse, established for the storage and disposition exclusively of general order merchandise?
- AClass 2
- BClass 7
- CClass 8
- DClass 9
- EClass 11✓ CBP's answer
Why this answer
Section 19.1(a) divides bonded warehouses into eleven classes, and paragraph (a)(11) defines Class 11 as warehouses established for the storage and disposition exclusively of general order merchandise, the unentered or unclaimed goods CBP orders into custody. That keys option E. Class 2 warehouses are private facilities for the proprietor's own merchandise, and Classes 7, 8, and 9 respectively cover smelting and refining operations, cleaning and repacking of merchandise, and duty-free sales enterprises, so each distractor describes a specialized commercial operation rather than the warehousing of general order goods. Watch for: Confusing the duty-free store class (9) with the general order class (11).
