A warehoused good changes ownership; which form records this change?

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

Answer: (B)

When warehoused goods change ownership, the records must reflect who is legally responsible for them. Form C23 is the document used to record that transfer in the warehouse and customs system. It captures essential details such as the old owner, the new owner, the warehouse number, and a description of the goods (including quantity and value). Submitting this form updates the warehouse ledger and the customs file, ensuring the new owner has the right to manage or withdraw the goods and is liable for storage charges or duties as applicable. Without this record, ownership would remain in the old name, leading to confusion and potential disputes over liability and rights to move or release the goods. Other forms handle different warehouse actions, but they do not specifically document a change of ownership.
