BILL OF STORE, a licence granted by the custom house permitting the re-importation of British goods into Great Britain. All British goods re-imported into Great Britain are entered as foreign, unless re-imported within ten years after their exportation and unless the property in the goods continues and remains in the person by whom they were exported. But in such case they may be entered as British goods, by bill of store, with the exception of corn, grain, meal, flour and hops.
