A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns and villages. They usually have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes warehouses are designed for the loading and unloading of goods directly from railways, airports, or seaports. They often have cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed on ISO standard pallets loaded into pallet racks. Stored goods can include any raw materials, packing materials, spare parts, components, or finished goods associated with agriculture, manufacturing, or commerce.

Dear sir, thanks for your reply, but I want to know about "warehousing stations". I think these are the places nearby custom stations, where a lot of warehouses owned by customs are situated.
And I think private warehouses are those for which a license is obtained by a person (e.g. Mr. A) and in such case, he only store his goods in that warehouse and no other can.
Please clarify whether I am right or wrong.

Types of Warehouses : Private Warehouses
These warehouses are owned and operated by big manufacturers and merchants to fulfil their own storage needs. Big business firms which need large storage capacity on a regular basis and who can afford money, construction and maintain their private warehouses. A big manufacturer or wholesaler may have a network of his own warehouses in different parts of the country. The private warehouses are licenced to private persons and only the goods imported by or on behalf of the licensee are stored in such warehouse.
Public Warehouses
These warehouses are a specialised business establishment that provide storage facilities to the general public for a certain charge. It may be owned and operated by an individual or a cooperative society. It works under a licence from the government. They are generally located near the junctions of railways, highways and waterways. They therefore provide excellent facilities for the easy receipt, despatch, loading and unloading of goods. They are very important in the marketing of agricultural products. A public warehouse is also known as 'duty paid warehouse'.
Public warehouses are very useful to the business community as they can meet their storage needs easily and economically by making use of the public warehouse,without heavy investment. Such warehouses provide storage facilities to small manufacturers and traders at low costs. They provide facilities for the inspection of goods by prospective buyers. They also permit packaging and grading of goods. The public warehouses receipts are good collateral securities for borrowings.
Bonded Warehouses
These warehouses are licenced by the Government to accept imported goods for storage until the payment of customs duty. They are located near the ports. They are either operated by the Government or work under the control of customs authorities. The warehouse is required to give an undertaking or 'Bond' that it will not allow the goods to be removed without the consent of the custom authorities. The goods are held in bond and cannot be withdrawn without paying the customs duty. Such warehouses are very helpful to importers and exporters. If an importer is unable to pay customs duty immediately after the arrival of goods he can store the goods in a bonded warehouse. He can withdraw the goods in installments by paying the customs duty proportionately. Goods lying in a bonded warehouse can be packaged,graded and branded for the purpose of sale. Central Warehousing Corporation operates 75 Custom Bonded Warehouses with a total operated capacity of nearly 0.5 million Mts.
