What is Form C.2 used for?

• A. Attendance Request - An application for the attendance of Customs Officers at any place where Customs Officers do not normally attend.
• B. Report Inwards of Vessels
• C. Transire
• D. Declaration of Consumable Stores On Board Aircraft

Answer: (B)

Form C.2 is the form used to report the inward arrival of a vessel to customs. It serves as the official notification that a ship has entered Bahamian waters, providing essential details about the vessel and its voyage so customs can begin clearance, inspection, and duties assessment as needed. This is the specific function tied to C.2, distinguishing it from other procedures that involve attendance requests, transferring goods between ships, or declaring aircraft stores. Attending officers at non-standard locations, transferring cargo between vessels at sea, and declaring consumable aircraft stores are handled by other forms, not the inward-vessel reporting form.
