Can you help with this please?
Storage of wine.
Do you use the term"Bonded Warehouse" in the context of this wine trading company storing its bottled Grand Crus. And then, my dictionary shows "owner of bonded goods" as "entrepositaire" rather than the warehouse itself!

Maybe these are synonyms as Babylon seems to think.
On the other hand Cassell's speaks of bonder and depositor of goods. HTH.

They probably mean bonded warehouse but you'd have to have more context to be sure. I used to run a small wine export business in France and for this I needed the status of "entrepositeur agrée" with the local douanes office. It appeared to be the equivalent of bonded warehouse - we could buy wine VAT- and duty-free and store at the registered entrepot and export from there. I think to be a strict translation you'd need the word agrée or de douane or something to show it is storage of dutiable goods rather than just any old warehouse storage

Sorry, I meant "entrepositaire agréé" - should have waited to wake up before posting. IATE has many translations for bonded warehouse, including entrepôt douanier/en douane/sous douane/de douane but simply "entrepôt" too.

I think it may be more correct to use the term Warehousekeeper. I just found a very useful article http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200001/cmselect/c... which explains that "bonded warehouses" is a longstanding UK system and that the arrival of the single market led to a similar "excise warehouse" system throughout the EU. The person in charge is referred to here as the Warehousekeeper (point 20 Role of the Warehousekeeper).
