• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for residents
• D. Only for commercial goods

Answer: (A)

Prohibited goods are goods that cannot be imported into the Bahamas because they are unlawful in the Customs territory. This means the law bars their entry outright, and no permit or license can make their import legal. Think of items like illegal drugs, unlicensed weapons or parts, counterfeit goods, certain hazardous substances without proper clearance, and products that violate wildlife or public-safety rules. It’s useful to contrast prohibited goods with restricted goods: restricted items can be brought in, but only with the appropriate permits, licenses, or quotas. Prohibition isn’t about the importer’s status or whether the goods are for personal or commercial use—it’s about the goods themselves being forbidden. So the statement is correct.
