Which form among C23-C27 is used to document the transfer of ownership of warehoused goods?

• A. Form C23
• B. Form C24
• C. Form C25
• D. Form C27

Answer: (A)

When warehoused goods change hands, that change in ownership needs an official record so everyone knows who is responsible for the goods, including storage charges and any duties if the goods move or are released. The document designated for this purpose is Form C23. It officially records who is selling, who is buying, where the goods are stored, a description of the goods, quantities, any identifying details like lot numbers, and the date the transfer takes effect. This form creates a clear, traceable trail in customs and warehouse records so the new owner can assume liability and rights without ambiguity. It also helps ensure the correct party is charged for storage and any future duties upon release. Other forms handle different warehouse actions, such as withdrawals or amendments, but they are not used to document a transfer of ownership.
