Customs warehousing pending clearance allows imported goods limited storage when clearance or removal cannot be completed in time. Imported goods entered for home consumption, whether dutiable or not, may be allowed to remain in a public warehouse pending clearance if the Assistant Commissioner of Customs or Deputy Commissioner of Customs is satisfied on the importer's application that clearance cannot be completed within a reasonable time. Imported dutiable goods entered for warehousing may also be stored pending removal for deposit in a warehouse, subject to the same satisfaction and a maximum initial storage period of thirty days.
