APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 150

A firm is expanding into a new market with import/export tariffs and needs a warehouse to accept, store, and ship its general merchandise product.
What type of public warehouse in the new market would best meet the firm's needs?

Answer options

• A. Bonded
• B. Subcontracted
• C. Specialty
• D. Network aligned

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A Bonded warehouse is specifically designed to store goods that are subject to import duties until they are cleared by customs, making it the ideal choice for a firm dealing with tariffs. The other options, such as Subcontracted, Specialty, and Network aligned warehouses, do not specifically cater to the needs imposed by tariffs and customs regulations.
