Which form would be used for applying to designate a building as a bonded warehouse?

• A. Form C20
• B. Form C19
• C. Form C21
• D. Form C18

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how you initiate the designation of a building as a bonded warehouse. To apply for this designation, you use the form that is specifically tied to establishing a bonded warehouse. Form C20 is the correct one because it is the document intended for requesting such a designation—pulling together details about the facility, security, storage capabilities, and compliance with customs requirements so customs can assess and approve the bonded status. Once approved, the warehouse can store imported goods under bond, with duties deferred until the goods are released. The other forms are used for different customs processes and would not initiate the bonding designation. They handle unrelated steps like declarations, amendments, or other permits, so they don’t serve as the application for designating a building as a bonded warehouse.
