In-depth guides from warehouse operators
Bonded warehouse storage isn't indefinite. Goods entered under a warehouse entry have five years from the date of importation before CBP treats them as abandoned under 19 U.S.C. § 1557 — a different clock than the 15-day General Order trigger for cargo that was never entered at all. With 2026's tariff-driven bonding volumes at record levels, here is how the five-year window works, what an extension request looks like, and why aging inventory needs an active management plan, not just a bonded address.
Bessent says the Busan truce now runs to January 10, 2027 instead of November 10. But the 178 Section 301 China exclusions and the port-fee suspension still expire November 9 until USTR publishes new notices, and the 7.5% excess-capacity tariff is a separate clock. What changes, what does not, and what to do with China-origin cargo in transit and in bond.
H.R. 6500, signed September 2, 2026, extends AGOA duty-free treatment through December 31, 2028 for the 32 current beneficiary countries. But the 10-12.5% Section 301 forced-labor duty still applies on top, Section 232 goods are excluded, 2027 country eligibility is undecided, and the lapse-period refund window closed August 2. How to claim, what to fix, and where bonded storage fits.
