When a shipment arrives at a warehouse or terminal, the admission process begins: the receiving clerk checks the accompanying documents against the delivered goods, inspects quantities and condition, and registers the consignment in the warehouse management system. This initial checkpoint establishes the evidentiary record for all subsequent handling—storage, onward dispatch, or customs clearance. Any damage or discrepancy must be noted immediately to preserve claims against the carrier within applicable time limits. In a customs context, admission marks the moment goods come under official supervision and formal liability for duties and controls begins.
