Last December 22, 2010, Philippine International Trading Center (PITC) and Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines (CFIP) officially signed a Memorandum of Agreement on the Common Bonded Warehouse (CBW) Project at the NDC Building, PITC.

CBW is a common warehouse, certified by the government and guaranteed by a bonding agency, where taxable and dutiable goods may be stored, with payment of the tax or duty deferred until the goods are removed.
