A shipment of televisions arriving by air freight designated for Cuba should be entered as which entry type?

• A. C.35 - Transshipment Entry
• B. C.16 - Warehousing Entry
• C. C.13 - Home Consumption Entry
• D. C.38 - Transire

Answer: (A)

When goods are brought into the Bahamas for immediate onward shipment to another country, they are treated as being in transit and should be entered as a transshipment. In this case, the televisions arrive by air and are designated for Cuba, so they are not intended for Bahamian use, sale, or storage. Recording them as a transshipment entry reflects their purpose: they are passing through the Bahamas to Cuba and will not be cleared for home consumption. If the goods were to be used in the Bahamas, stored for later release, or temporarily imported for re-export with processing, different entry types would apply, but for direct transit to Cuba, the transshipment entry is the correct choice.
