The warehouse keeper must conduct physical stock taking, in the bond officer's presence at least once every six months, to confirm records match physical stock and that removed goods are accounted for as work-in-progress, used in permitted operations, exported, or cleared domestically. Both warehouse keeper and bond officer must sign duplicate stock summaries; discrepancies trigger action under the Act.
