  1. The merchandise must be removed from the warehouse prior to the preparation of the supplementary withdrawal.
  2. The merchandise must be physically removed from the warehouse, only when it is duty-paid, within 15 days after the withdrawal permit has been issued.
  3. All merchandise, besides duty-free merchandise which has been withdrawn, but not removed, does not remain in CBP custody, and must be physically removed after merchandise for which a permit for withdrawal has been issued.

Show the answer and walk-through

CBP's answer: D. D: The merchandise must be segregated or physically marked to maintain its identity for merchandise for which a withdrawal permit has been issued.

Section 19.6(b)(2) says merchandise with a withdrawal permit need not be physically removed, but must be segregated or physically marked to maintain its identity as merchandise for which a withdrawal permit has been issued (D). The other choices add removal deadlines or custody statements that the section does not say.
