Duty paid warehouses
: After paying the duty on the goods kept in the 
bonded warehouses, the importer take the possession of the goods and store 
them in warehouses which are called as duty paid warehouses. These 
warehouses are meant to preserve only such goods on which the duty is paid by 
the importer. The importers are at liberty to lift the stock from these 
warehouses whenever they desire. Duty paid warehouses are also located near 
the ports only which are normally owned by the dock authorities, port trusts etc.

Refrigerated warehouses
: The goods which are perishable in nature 
such as vegitables, eggs, fruits, meat etc., cannot be stored in ordinary 
warehouses. The goods will become rotten and become unfit for human 
consumption. If cold storage facilities are not available, there is every 
possibility for push down of the prices due to which farmers are put to heavy 
losses. 
Keeping this in view a cold storage order was adopted in 1980 by the 
Directorate of Marketing and Inspection to develop the cold storage industry.
This order has enabled to develop a number of cold storage centres in a planned 
manner to ensure by hygienic and proper refrigeration conditions for the 
perishable goods. These warehouses are also called as cold storage which are 
increasingly becoming popular in the present days.
