    Sometimes the bank stores the imported goods on behalf of the importer. Once an agreement has been concluded between the importer and the exporter, the payment has been made to the seller, and the goods and documents have arrived in the importing country, and the bank informs the buyer that the shipment of goods has arrived, but the buyer delays in collecting the shipment, the bank stores the goods on behalf of the buyer. In return, the bank charges storage fees to the buyer.
    Sometimes the bank stores the goods on behalf of the exporter. The exporter may ship the goods and documents to the bank, without any prior agreement with a buyer, so that the bank may offer the goods to the businesses within a country. However, a buyer for the goods cannot be found, and the bank stores the goods for the exporter. In return, the bank charges storage fees to the exporter.

    2854. In both the aforementioned cases, wherein the bank stores the goods for the importer or the exporter, given that the storage fees are according to a condition stipulated within the agreement, even if it be unwritten, as in it is understood by both sides and neither of them are oblivious to it, which is usually understood in such transactions, then it is permissible to acquire payment for storing the goods. The same will apply if the goods are stored at the request of the importer or the exporter.
    In cases other than these, the bank does not reserve any right to acquire any payment for storing the goods.
    In the event that the bank ships the goods and transfers the documents according to an agreement between the exporter and the importer, and the bank informs the importer that the documents have arrived, but the importer fails to take possession of them, then it is permissible for the bank in order to reclaim its right, which is the amount that was paid to the seller, to sell the goods to another party, which is based on the discretion that the importer grants to the bank in such cases.
