Functions of Warehousing:
(1) Storage:
This is the basic function of warehousing. Surplus commodities which are not needed immediately can be
stored in warehouses. They can be supplied as and when needed by the customers.
(2) Price Stabilization:
Warehouses play an important role in the process of price stabilization. It is achieved by the creation of time
utility by warehousing. Fall in the prices of goods when their supply is in abundance and rise in their prices
during the slack season are avoided.
(3) Risk bearing:
When the goods are stored in warehouses they are exposed to many risks in the form of theft, deterioration,
exploration, fire etc. Warehouses are constructed in such a way as to minimize these risks. Contract of
bailment operates when the goods are stored in warehouses.
The person keeping the goods in warehouses acts as bailer and warehouse keeper acts as bailee. A
warehouse keeper has to take the reasonable care of the goods and safeguard them against various risks.
For any loss or damage sustained by goods, warehouse keeper shall be liable to the owner of the goods.
(4) Financing:
Loans can be raised from the warehouse keeper against the goods stored by the owner. Goods act as
security for the warehouse keeper. Similarly, banks and other financial institutions also advance loans
against warehouse receipts. In this manner, warehousing acts as a source of finance for the businessmen for
meeting business operations.
(5) Grading and Packing:
Warehouses now-a-days provide the facilities of packing, processing and grading of goods. Goods can be
packed in convenient sizes as per the instructions of the owner.

Types of Warehouses:
•Private warehouses
•Public warehouses
•Bonded warehouses
•other type of warehouses

Private warehouses are constructed and owned by the business enterprises in order to store the
products produced by them. These are exclusively owned and used by the producers
themselves and are not meant for other manufacturing or business units.
On account of heavy cost of construction and maintenance of these warehouses, there number
is quite small. Only big business houses can afford to have such type of warehouses.
Private Warehouses

These are also known as duty paid warehouses. A public warehouse or duty paid warehouse is one which is
open for public at large. Most of the business organizations, especially small and medium scale, can’t afford
to have their own warehouses on account of large financial investment in their construction and
maintenance.
They make use of these types of warehouses, which may be owned by an individual or some agency whose
main object is to provide storage facilities to people for certain fees or charges. These warehouses operate
within rules and regulations formed by the government.
Public warehouses are very useful to businessmen. These warehouses are usually situated near railway lines
or main roads, so as to provide quick transportation services. Goods lying in the warehouse can be
hypothecated to banks and other financial institutions for getting loan and financial assistance.
Public warehouses ensure greater security and handling of goods on account of latest mechanical devices
used in handling and preserving the goods. Goods can be branded, graded and packed in desired sizes in the
warehouses.
Public Warehouse

Bonded warehouses are used for imported goods which are not granted clearance on account of non-
payment of custom duty by the importer of these goods. Such warehouses are situated near the ports.
Goods can’t be removed from these warehouses until the custom duties are paid.
Bonded warehouses may be run by the government or private agencies (when granted licenses to operate
such warehouses). In both the cases there is a strict control and supervision imposed by custom authorities
on their operation and functioning.
Importer of the goods has some control over his goods and he can inspect and check the goods as and when
he wants. After making part payment of the custom duty, goods can be proportionately withdrawn from
these warehouses.
Goods kept in these warehouses can be branded, packed, graded, labeled and canned in the warehouse
itself. Bank loans can be raised with the help of receipt issued by these warehouses by giving that receipt as
collateral security.
There is a least possibility of goods being exposed to any risk of theft, damage and deterioration. The
entrepot trade i.e., re-export of imported goods is greatly facilitated as the importer can have the delivery of
goods without paying any custom duty.
