What Transshipment Bond form is furnished with a Transshipment Entry?

• A. Transshipment Bond furnished in Form CB.6
• B. C.7 - Aircraft General Inwards Declaration
• C. C.38 - Transire
• D. C.17 - Returning Residents Declaration

Answer: (A)

A Transshipment Entry is used for goods that land in the Bahamas and are to be moved onward to another destination without entering for home consumption. To secure revenue and ensure compliance, a Transshipment Bond is filed with the entry. In Bahamas Customs practice, this bond is furnished using Form CB.6. This bond covers duties and penalties if the goods are not re-exported or if the transshipment does not proceed as declared. The other forms exist for different scenarios: Aircraft General Inwards Declaration relates to inbound aircraft, Transire is a different transit-related document, and Returning Residents Declaration covers goods brought back by residents. So the bond form associated with a Transshipment Entry is Form CB.6.
