In what situation would a warehouse entry allow for a different time of entry?

A warehouse entry allows for a different time of entry at the time of withdrawal from the warehouse because this is when the goods leave the warehouse and are formally entered into commerce. When items are placed in a bonded warehouse, they can remain there under a specific customs status until they are withdrawn for use or sale. The withdrawal acts as the time when the goods are officially considered entered into the U.S. for consumption, and this date affects the calculation of duties, taxes, and compliance with other regulations.

The other options do relate to various aspects of customs processes, but they do not represent the official timing for when the entry is recognized in such a legal context. For example, the point of arrival indicates where goods arrive but does not signify when entry is complete for customs purposes. Entry submission is the process of filing necessary documentation but does not define when the goods are entered into commerce. An inspection by customs is a procedure that occurs during the entry process but does not change the timing of the entry itself. Thus, understanding the role of withdrawal timing is crucial for anyone involved in customs brokerage and warehousing.
