peer agreement (net): -1stored in a bonded warehouse Explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonded_warehouse "A bonded warehouse is a building or other secured area in which dutiable goods may be stored, manipulated, or undergo manufacturing operations without payment of duty.[1] It may be managed by the state or by private enterprise. In the latter case a customs bond must be posted with the government. This system exists in all developed countries of the world. Upon entry of goods into the warehouse, the importer and warehouse proprietor incur liability under a bond. This liability is generally cancelled when the goods are: exported; or deemed exported; withdrawn for supplies to a vessel or aircraft in international traffic; destroyed under Customs supervision; or withdrawn for consumption domestically after payment of duty." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2013-10-08 21:28:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Given the discussion entries, my interpretation of this is that failing the Client accepting/collecting/paying for (or whatever else they have failed to do), the goods, they will be held in a bonded warehouse at the place they have already been delivered to (port? frontier?) for a specified period and then transferred to be held at a bonded warehouse somewhere else (perhaps with lower storage costs). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2013-10-08 21:30:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It might be better to use held in a bonded warehouse, rather than "stored", but that is merely a question of style. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 days (2013-10-15 17:15:57 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks Mpoma. I did in fact make the distinction you recommend in your Grading comment in my Note added at 13 hrs. I think that the choice of the word "constitué" in the source text is somewhat odd and probably should be understood as the (archaic) meaning given in Le Grand Robert, even though here it is Constituer (qqch) à (qqch.): "Vx (langue class.). Constituer (qqn) à (qqch.) : placer (qqn) à (un poste), confier à (qqn) la responsabilité de (qqch.). ➙ Assigner, 1. placer, préposer. Constituer qqn à la garde des enfants." |
