The Customs Management Act outlines four entry methods. Which of the following is NOT one of these entry types?

• A. C.13 - Home Consumption Entry
• B. C.16 - Warehousing Entry
• C. C.41 - Request to Import Goods for Temporary Use or Purpose
• D. C.50 - Ferry Entry

Answer: (D)

The entry methods define how goods are admitted into the Bahamas for customs processing and how duties or controls apply. Home Consumption Entry is the standard path for goods brought in for domestic use, with duties assessed and paid at clearance. Warehousing Entry lets goods sit in a bonded warehouse, deferring duties until they are released for home use or re-export. The route for Temporary Importation (import goods for temporary use or purpose) covers goods brought in for a limited period or specific use, often with conditions and a bond, after which they either return or incur duties if the use extends beyond allowed terms.

Ferry Entry isn’t a recognized category in the Customs Management Act. A ferry crossing is a mode of transport, not a separate customs clearance regime. Goods arriving by ferry would still be processed under one of the valid entry types depending on their use and duration, not under a distinct “ferry” category. So the option referring to Ferry Entry does not fit as a listed entry type.
