Title: Class 9 Bonded Warehouse Procedures 
Abstract: Amendments to title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR), with respect to the requirements applicable to the operation of Class 9 bonded warehouses, which are also known as “duty-free sales enterprises” or “duty-free stores.” The amendments would extend the blanket withdrawal procedure for duty-free merchandise under certain circumstances and expand and create a uniform time period for Class 9 proprietors to file an entry; provide written confirmation of certain shortages, overages, and damages; and to pay duties, taxes, and interest on overages and shortages. In addition, the amendments would permit Class 9 warehouses to utilize existing technological systems more effectively and extend the time period for which merchandise may remain in a bonded warehouse under certain circumstances. The changes would facilitate the efficient operation of Class 9 warehouses and also ensure adequate records are maintained for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) trade enforcement purposes.
