Consigned inventory is the property of the consignor, not the consignee, until it is sold by the consignee. In other words, goods on consignment are included in the inventory of the consignor (i.e., seller) while they are excluded from the consignee’s (i.e., buyer’s) inventory. Consignee does not own the inventory but agrees to exercise due diligence in holding and selling consigned merchandise.
